I didn't take this: "I don't think using source counts unless you directly attack someone who isn't hostile" to mean that (and I still don't). The whole point was that using any type of source magic, even if it doesn't cause damage, upsets the magisters. I don't know to what extent they get upset (and if I misinterpreted Raze's answer - this would be the point - would it cause a flag?) because, in a got ya situation, I tend to chalk it up to learning the game mechanics and go back to the "real world" smile - a prior save - and not repeat the error. I suppose they'd want to send me to Ft Joy and all local magisters would attack on site from then on. Now I'm going to have to try this to see what happens.
