How are people with powers treated in your world? Are they admired, just seen as people who have a particular skill? Or are they treated as threats- and if they are, is it justified or simple superstition?
[The riots and protests have been on Sabriel's mind lately. But since she's asking for information, she feels she ought to give some in return.]
Charter magic is mostly seen as simply a useful skill in the Old Kingdom- people study it, but they also study weapons, and herbalism. And they don't hide in Ancelstierre so much as people refuse to see them.
Of course, Free Magic sorcerers and necromancers are treated much more harshly, for good reason- some types of power will always corrupt, no matter how good the intention.
