As would be expected from most civilized societies.

Not really. A lot of people here are from worlds where magic is weaponized.

Councils and circles will also drive out and disbar someone who’s learning with malicious intent or flippancy. But mostly, by now it’s part of our social fabric. Other countries in our world have the same pacifist attitude— high level mages refused to be used as or considered as weapons, and their power couldn’t be argued with.
