In fact, it got so vague and confusing at times that Handy had actually taken to reading books in the castle library just to figure out what he could or could not do without actually breaking the law or, you know, causing a war or something. He knew he could use the vagueness of his powers to his advantage if he really wanted, most people being unaware of the Sword's limits, and the ones who knew its limits didn't know all of them. Handy liked being absolutely sure and noted a few loopholes he could get away with in a tight spot if necessary. Law made for dry reading most days, but after powering through the book on Equestrian criminal law, the confusing jumble of traditions, customs and local laws concerning the Sword made for a challenging and somewhat fun distraction.
