Simplicio: I am Simplicio, the foolish inquirer. 

Arcanatri: I am Arcanatri, the Great Wizard of Nexland, a city where all is done by Spell and Sorcery. 

Simplicio: How is Justice done in your city of Nexland? 

Arcanatri: I am a Great Wizard. With my Spells the Criminal is conjured before me.

Simplicio: Does the City Watch then search for evidence and question the associates to be sure the correct Criminal has been found? 

Arcanatri: Unnecessary. I am a Great Wizard, my Spell makes no error. 

Simplicio: Is Justice done solely based on one Spell?

Arcanatri: Nonsense. Justice requires a Trial where the Criminal speaks a confession to all. 

Simplicio: What of Criminals who do not confess and instead defend themselves? 

Arcanatri: I possess spells of Enchantment which compel the will to follow my suggestion. There is never a Trial where the Criminal does not confess. 

Simplicio: Is it right to base Justice on the power of Spells that only few understand? 

Arcanatri: A City Watch may fail to find an hiding Criminal and a Magistrate may be fooled by a lying Criminal, while Spells make no such error. Nexland Justice is the superior system. 

Simplicio: Could a Great Wizard not, desiring to be rid of some inconvenient rival, conjure him in place of a Criminal and by Enchantment compel him to confess?

Arcanatri: A great wizard would never do such a thing. For your own good, I must Suggest that you do not make such accusations and instead realize I am correct. 

Simplicio: I now see the Error of my Ways. Justice can be gained by means of Spells. Any who doubt Great Wizards are fools befitting the name Simplicio.

It's playing with fire, but Laia's going to read this one.

 

With a hand puppet. It sharpens up the message a little bit, and Eloi can sit out.
