I still think it’s so interesting no matter how much the witches are like “at the end of the day we’re just humans with human hearts” their humanity must always be questioned because of the pact. Even the wises who are supposed to represent the borderline, try to find ways to deviate from the past, but even they must be questioned when it comes to their humanity because at the end of the day, they will never truly cross the line that’s in the sand and there is nothing non magics can do about it but suffer. In the fight between the brimmed hats and the pointed hats the only real losers will be those who can’t do magic specifically due to the magic cops because they can fight without magic and they can fight with magic but non-magics can’t do the same. Like Custas said they are in a fight against fate and due to that they will never truly be on the other level of mages.
I genuinely think there needs to be another character like The King, who keeps trying to cross that line due to his pure heart and true desire of wanting to protect those who can’t protect themselves. They need to do something to even the playing field because taking away the knowledge of medicine isn’t the same of taking away the knowledge of magic especially in the middle age setting where science isn’t where it’s at now. Like if they were granted the ability to do life-saving surgery, but our only allowed to do such surgery on those who don’t know magic like if they’re able to heal those who have become paralyzed, but can’t heal the wise in teaching.
