All mages are illegal. Or it feels like that-- when you're born a mage, you're born guilty. The Templars come to your ratspit village, and they find you and take you from your family and drag you in irons to one of the Circles, where you're supposed to stay for the rest of your life. Which could end at any moment on a Templar sword for looking at them sideways too long, or for not being good enough at casting a shield, or daring to fall in love with someone.
[ huff. ]
I escaped the tower. So they branded me apostate. A criminal, maleficar. [ scowling at that, stubborn.] I'm a healer.
