"The only way to truly handle any abuse of magic is, unfortunately, to punish the cause rather than prevent the effect. A malicious or careless witch might find themselves bound to a fae in the same way one might burn down a house, to remain with fire magic. They are treated differently by law, as are the use of fire magic to light a cigarette and to attempt to set fire to Westminster. But it is only after the magic is used that its purpose is seen and action taken or not. We do not prevent all magic; we merely educate and trust in a witch's judgement, which might be led astray by any source, even outside a contract."

Abigail, on the other hand, stands opposite him. Where one might commit an act of passion, the more education one has, the less likely the emotion is to overrule all of the teaching.
