[QUOTE="R_Chance, post: 9539093, member: 55149"] I like my magic to be obvious. Originally my players had a habit of casting some pretty destructive magic anywhere. In the town market, the village square, a church yard etc. Not to speak of indoors. Fireballs in a wooden town. Yep. So, in one of my campaign's occasional "refreshes" (between OD&D and 1E iirc) casting magic became illegal inside the city walls, with the exception of "Sorcerer's Isle" (so named well before the class of the same name) which was attached to the city by a bridge. So, it needed to be fairly obvious to allow the minions of the law or mobs of farmers with pitchforks to act. Only the court wizard and other licensed magicians can cast inside the city. And I think it makes sense for non-magic using ruling elites to be a bit concerned about the power of magic and the need to control / limit it. Not to speak of the people living in wooden buildings :D [/QUOTE]
