* In ''[[With Strings Attached]]'', the law in Ketafa is that magic is forbidden; those accused are, at the very least, publicly flogged. Not that it stops a lively magical underground, the Hiddenwizards. (We never see them, but Lyndess mentions them a few times, as do Terdan and Remlar.) And the “Favorites of the

Line 82:
** Not that the Qunari are above using the mages as living weapons, either, with each ''saarebas'' (''dangerous thing'') being handled by another Qunari as their keeper. Any saarebas that goes unsupervised is automatically assumed to be possessed by a demon, so the Qunari come across as fearing mages even more than the humans though it's more like their philosophy doesn't allow them to act any other way.

For thousands of years magic was banned until a mage emperor, Garacaius, arose to unite the world. He vanished after the death of his wife, leaving his empire to his four
* Team [[Animal Wrongs Group|Plasma]] serves this role in [[Pokémon Black and White]], with a dosage of [[Fantasy Gun Control]]. The goal of their [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|leader]] is to stop the use of Pokemon and have them all released. {{spoiler|The organization itself does not agree, and is being manipulated by [[The Man Behind the Man|Ghet]][[Manipulative Bastard|sis]] to leave him the only one left with Pokemon, rendering the rest of the population completely powerless}}.
