Mages- A new set of restrictions is applied onto White Mages:

- All White Mages are required to write weekly to the Ministry for the Magi, reporting their activities and any usage of their Magic. Any events of unreported Magic usage will be met with the stripping of White Mage documentation and harsh legal punishment.
- All White Mages are expected to be employed in some manner that benefits the military, infrastructure, or culture of the Holy City. Any White Mage found to be unemployed or colluding with forces that may harm the city will be met with the stripping of White Mage documentation, and in the case of the latter, harsh legal punishment.

- Any Mage, including White Mages, found to be engaging in acts of treason or treachery to the Regalian state will be met with an immediate blacklisting from access to White Mage documentation and harsh legal punishment.
- Any Mage found to be wilfully delaying or avoiding registration with state law enforcement and subsequently the Ministry for the Magi will suffer greatly reduced chances at receiving any form of special dispensation, including White Mage documents.
- Any Mage found to be utilizing their Magic without White Mage documentation or special dispensation to do so will suffer greatly reduced chances at receiving any form of aforementioned documentation. Repeated usage without documentation will result in blacklisting from White Mage status, and legal repercussions. This includes any Mage, regardless of their standing or positions held.

Final Statements
As always, the Ministry reminds every Regalian citizen to remain vigilant against Magical misusage, and to be forthcoming with any details regarding those perfidious aberrations who would break the laws of our great Empire for their own gain and benefit. As well as this, the Ministry reminds those aberrants of the Empire who would seek to benefit the state to establish appointments with the Ministry at their earliest convenience to allow their assistance to be used to its fullest extent.
Once more, the Ministry restates its willingness to cooperate with the Violet Order should any Magical phenomena occur, or if any Ministry-declared policies may conflict with the operation of the Violet Order.
All acts declared by this proclamation are hereby passed into law.
