A last worry prevent you from taking this step?

 
"But what about catastrophic runaway ritual?" you think. Let us reassure you, nobody wants this to happen again, and here are the measures we are going to put into place to prevent this:
 
Ilegal means illegal
A murder is still a murder no matter the means used to commit it & it will still be illegal, with the exception of proven self-defence.   As for soldiers on the battlefield, they are not killing any less for not using rituals—but they are certainly dying more! Giving them the means to defend themselves is the least we can do after conscripting them.
Ritual teaching
Teaching how to conduct ritual safely & their dangers & how to avoid them will prevent most of the reckless practice & the resulting accidents & catastrophes.   Taking the taboo away from them will also take away the atmosphere of defy & outrageous one-upmanship that far too many young people associate with rituals.
Ritual licence
Licences will be required to practice rituals, with different levels corresponding to the dangerousness of the rituals.   The most danger rituals will also have to be registered with the government & will require a military watch to be preasent & ready to intervene at the least sign of the ritual running out of control.

I love how this is formatted as a recruitment pamphlet. (The answer is no.)

Honestly, though? They may have a point about teaching people how to conduct rituals safely rather than banning them outright... Isn't this is what the light is already trying to do with other things, like caustic butterflies. Then again... they don't seem to be having a lot of success with that. But it reminds me of the cell-phone ban at the school when I teach. Banning our students from using them doesn't make them use them less. And it does probably mean they get less education on how to use them properly.   I wasn't entirely sure what was going on in the "Illegal Means Illegal" section, but I think I might be missing some context, since I have a limited knowledge of the world.

Thanks for your comment :D   The "illegal means illegal" is probably me writing something I haven't talk about before. One of the thing the Light is saying is that the Dark Lord wants to make all Dark magic legal, and so that people would have the right to torture and kill in the street anyone they don't like. So the Dark mages are trying to explain, that no, they don't intend to do that and that everyone will be perfectly safe XD   The banning outright anything that has the potential to be dangerous is the basis of the Light mages' politics., but yes, it's not been working very well for them so far XD   Great example with the phone! Another comparison could be with the prohibition in the US.
