The life of a spellcaster, Day 4

How are illegal magicians apprehended? Punished? Is this the responsibility of the magician's guild, or do ordinary law enforcement agencies have to deal with it?

If they have commited a non magia-related crime, then they are subject to common law like everyone else, only placed in a magia proof cell block if they are sentenced to prison time.

Magia related crimes are the jurisdiction of the local mage's tribunal--those found to be casting forbidden spells without a very specific reason (or another serious crime) will have their powers locked via Mystical Bane. Lesser magia related crimes are punished via probation (in which they are confined to their house and told not to use magia for a certain amount of time), restitution, or prison time.
