"A recent loophole has been uncovered in section 532 C of the Code of Eternal Law."

I had three semesters of theosophical law under my belt. "I'm not a jinn, or a pixie, or a minor deity. I can't be bound like that."

"That's where the loophole comes in. The Counsel for Disestablishmentarianism argued that since Man was the creation of God, in His own express image, and since Man in numerous theologies affords himself of the title 'Child of God,' they are, in fact, a race of lesser gods."

"Oh," I said, a bit stunned.

"And as such, they may be bound into service, like jinn, pixies, leprechauns, etc., under certain special conditions."

"What conditions?"

He looked at me pityingly. It's a terrible thing, the pity of angels. "It would take more than forty days to lay out all the conditions. Suffice it to say, when you stole from Asmodean, you met several of them."
