In fact, the 4e DSCS has this to say about it: "Because of [the] harm done to the world, those who use arcane magic are hated and persecuted across Athas. They must practice their arts in secret or seek the patronage of a sorcerer-king and gain the ruler’s sanction for their spellcasting." Common folk who witness arcane magic are likely to run in fear or turn the caster in to the nearest Templar authorities.But how are Primal magic users treated? What if a Druid or Shaman, etc. were to use Primal magic in an arena combat or other public venue? The DSCS has only this to say: "Primal magic is more widespread than arcane magic, although it is rarely practiced in the cities. Out in the barrens, wielders of primal magic serve as healers and defenders of their villages or tribes. Shamans, druids, wardens, and other primal wielders are regarded with deep suspicion by the templars, who dislike the notion of magic that lies outside the control of their tyrannical overlords."What would be the reaction to this form of magic? How would a Druid or Shaman be treated by commoners? By Templars or other authorities?</blockquote>
