knighting the knight
Once it has become possible for someone to spontaneously just become a magical knight, without spell slinging, or a ceremony, or perhaps most vital of all, an oath of allegiance. . .
What happens when someone tries to knight someone who is spontaneously one? Perhaps without knowledge.
It won't happen too often, most of them are of a social class to never be considered, but one heroine will be. Perhaps that she has, unbeknownst to everyone, an ability to break spells will affect matters. I think it's going to be spectacular at a distance, and turn her position from horrible to disastrous.
Still, it might be best to determine what will happen without such a convenient power. If the power they try to give the would-be knight is too incompatible with the knight's character, the spell just burns out. I think a slightly more vigorous response would work better.
Hmm. Perhaps knighting someone twice in the past revealed a similar result. Accusations will fly.
