Interguild Proliferation Tribunal (Lorica)

Interguild Proliferation Tribunal
The Interguild Proliferation Tribunal, also called the Tribunal or IPT, is an inter-guild council that tries those believed responsible for proliferation of secrets.

After the confessors have completed their investigation, the IPT holds trials and doles out sentences for "proliferation crimes". In many cases, the confessors would have already obtained all the proof necessary, in which case the IPT acts as merely in the capacity of granting an official "seal of approval" when it hands down the verdict. In many cases, members of the maging community will already know what the verdict will be. As a general rule, an excuse that one developed the spell on their own (that just "happened" to be the same as that of the guilds') is not considered an excuse to the Tribunal.
