Magia and the world, day 11

Are magicians a force in politics, or are they above it? Are there national politics that revolve around magic/wizards (i.e., trying to outlaw or promote certain kinds of magic, trying to draft all wizards into the king's army, licensing of magicians, etc.)?

Since anyone and everyone can wield magia in Sekiya, this includes the politicians. Sekiyan politicians sign an oath promising that they will not use magia to manipulate rulers or otherwise promote their own agenda before they take office. Breaking this oath can land you in both the common courts and the mage's tribunal depending on what you did and how serious of a crime it is.

Currently, magia legislation involves approval for various research and what to do about missing Holders
