the scope of the spell

[marycatelli]

A kingdom has a spell on the king.  He can offer his subject a chance to act against him -- but if they do not act them, they can not try it again at a later date.

Hmm. . . . 

Does this mean that they also can't act against any other monarch?  Say the person who DID act against the king?

I didn't think this spell through.  It doesn't help that I started the story with the idea of it and so it was taken for granted all the while I plotted.

Is this kin to the Gilbert&Sullivan "Public Exploder" (Tarara) in Utopia Limited?

The prerogative is not that exclusive. This is why the king has to call the occasions, and why he WOULD: use it or lose it.
