I'll try to keep it real short. First, I don't assume their culture thinks it's weird and specifically dangerous, unless it's new to the them. Otherwise it's just a normal part of life as it's probably been around at least a millennium. Second, it can be a powerful tool to violate others or their property. As such, it might be outlawed. You know, like swords were in Japan, and even peons owning land in parts of Europe. Third, it's a valuable resource and it might be encouraged or mandated. Kind of like the English Longbowman who was required to learn and practice it, and was even paid a stipend for that. Of course, magic makes fantasies, and anything is possible in those. Choose what feels right for your campaign, or better yet, mix and match as appropriate. Commonly people do this kind of stuff based on regions, but it's also easy to mix it up with cultures, religions, races, or random dice rolls of the gods on a 26 month rotating basis. Whatever you like. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  & <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
