The Great Tome of Magic

Whenever someone learns magic or is born with magic, the Order requires that person to be registered into the Great Tome of Magic. This tome keeps track of every magic user whose name is written into it.

To register, a magic user’s name is written into the book and then the Order brands the person’s skin with a serial number. This brand is magically sealed with an ancient artifact, ensuring it cannot be dispelled.

People who use magic but refuse to get registered are rogue witches. They do everything they can to evade the watchful eyes of the Order. Most of these are druids out in the wild, warlocks who hide their magical capabilities, and sorcerers who deny their magical bloodline and try to live as non-magical commoners.
