I will ask. The question was more of an academic one, since I'm still learning about magic, including the ethical aspects of it.

1. Would asking my sister for a general permission to perform spells for my godchildren be ethically acceptable? Mostly, my sister doesn't believe in magic but respects that I do. Repeatedly asking her permission to do things she considers silly is a bit awkward for me, and I'm a rather private person. That would be the second reason I asked.

2. What kind of rights would a godparent in the RCC need in order to be able to perform spells, on their own, on behalf of their godchildren?
