[It isn't a particularly odd point to focus on, but the way that Michael does so makes Lance a little suspicious about the reason for it. But he focuses just on answering for the moment, watching Michael's reaction carefully as he does so.]

It's complicated, at best, to give an answer to that, especially since many of the situations here don't exist in my world.

[So there's no generally agreed upon way to deal with them and such.]

But generally, it seems unfair to hold an individual responsible for things done under duress by an outside cause. Mundanely, without magic or anything of that sort, an example would be if someone were forced to commit a crime by someone threatening them or their family. Technically, they could've said no and chosen not to do so, but if they don't is it really their fault?

[It's a weird grey area, but one in which the answer is generally a no. So similarly considering magic, the effects of the gods, and those sorts of things, Lance can't consider it reasonable to blame someone for their actions in those situations.]
