Ah ... It's kind of supposed to be a secret too. [ too bad for him that it's right there on his profile, huh. ] Not as far as you guys seem to take it, though. There are people who know about it, they just don't ... well, understand it all that much, I guess. [ and any alchemist, of course, is hardly inclined to explain. ]

And there are some places and things that just can't be seen or accessed by people without the ability to do it, so, um.

[ that specific quirk of mana goes a long way in keeping things secret, probably. civilians is a weird way to put it, though. how strictly is this all enforced? ]

Is the Mage's Association like a military or police force then, or something...?
