He tents fingers under his chin thinking over each word. ''No I'm afraid I have to disagree.'' Maybe I didn't convey this properly. ''Those are entirely different scenarios.'' He takes the time to try and word his response properly. ''It is all about intention I think. Revealing personal secrets that could be used against you, with the intention of trusting your fellows to not abuse them because they have no reason to, but being prepared in case of bad faith actors is one thing. You are prepared for the worst but do not expect it. Your intention is not to do harm, but harm will come to those who try and do it you.'' Because mages are still only human some will try to exploit you. ''On the other if I hear of a veil breach it is expected of me to go and try and resolve that situation. Not telling me everything about a scenario where the intention is to get me to go there would be a lie of omission. Relevant information has been intentionally withheld.'' It's clear Chambers does see this as very different but is unsure if he has conveyed why successfully.
He grins as Philip begins to understand. ''Yes the names we scribe are incredibly potent aids.'' Step by step. ''Especially because we get to use those connections as if they were our own.'' So I can reach people I have never met just because someone else has. ''The connection is penalised if we don't know the actual name of the person, the final name belongs to a second time if we don't know the name of the person we target. But That is an obstacle that can be over come in a myriad of ways.'' Lets see if that makes the penny drop, how useful our magic really is.
A shake of his head. ''No the spells of the stone scribes are fate primarily, each one has the conjunctional component of death however. So if a Moros or an Acanthus focused solely on their superior arcana they could not do these spells.'' Most people think Space or time for sympathy, fate to of course. Few enough consider death goes alongside all.
A nod to the workshop. ''When cast on someone who dies. Or is dead. The spell becomes a lasting effect. To make sure the record of life is not lost we create stone tablets and cast onto those. They last a longer then paper.'' And over time build up great collections of names.
