Magic

Strong prohibitions apply to the use of magic in public places. There must be good reason for such use; for example, healing spells are permitted, and the use of nondamaging spells such as hold person or slow to apprehend villains is acceptable. Damaging spells such as magic missile are only acceptable if the spell caster can prove that his life was in danger at the time. Intrusive spells such as know alignment and ESP are strongly frowned on, as are spells such as invisibility. Major damaging spells such as fireball may result in trial for a crime such as arson, which carries a very heavy sentence as a major crime.

Of course, casting spells to assist city authorities without advance permission tends to be received more favorably by the authorities.
