In the real world, (from which "witches and warlocks are shunned" traditions have their source), magic was a bogeyman, used to persecute the weak and politically unpopular and blame them for any number of unexplained ills.But in a world where magic is real, and in many cases beneficial, it would probably be seen as a useful and valuable tool. Since magic has been around for a long time (in most cases), it would not be "new" or "unknown", but rather something that most people had grown up around. Rather than being shunned, those that can wield it would probably be considered quite valuable. If you think of spellcasters like modern engineers or physicians, then the place they would likely hold in a society where magic was real.</blockquote>
