What is a definition of "can't"? I'd rephrase that to: "get a penalty
when use/wear/you name it".
Remember the Wall Of Screams in Eye of Beholder II? You hit it, it hits
you back; but you have to break it in order to get through.
It becomes less obvious and thus more appealing to require, for example,
to use a Very Bad Thing to achieve a Very Good Goal. And the other way
around.

Was this a typo? What is a definition of "prohibit"? If I drop a brick
from the roof at the very moment the person of the same alignment is
passing by downstairs, is it "prohibited"?
