But trust in the license means more people purchasing magic and thus
more magic being used.

So what are they going to do then?

That's not what the license says, nor is it how Exquaestio is promoting
their licenses. See my post on the topic.
>They are basicilly saying your lisence is not good enough.
So why get upset at the licensing agency when it's the people who use
the licenses that are being insulting?

A united license isn't a possibility. Many people in the areas where
Exquaestio is strongest are hostile to Mir and the license would lose
its value if people thought Mir was behind it. Lots of people in, say,
Tanimbar, would be willing to give a mage with Exq. connections a shot
but would turn away from a Mage with connections to Mir.

So, you feel it's appropriate for a government to take action because a
bunch of, say, psychologists are displaying a certificate saying
"approved by the Baptist community" on their walls and that baptist
churches are directing their people to those psychologists?

Oh, well if it's a matter of emotion and not of action I can certainly
understand that, but that's not what you seemed to be saying.

Exquaestio should automatically grant their licenses to people with
another type of license? No. That would make their hierarchy subserviant
to another organization which is against basic Exquaestio doctrine.
(Hmmm, I should probably add that another service Exquaestio provides
for mages is keeping track of the local laws regarding magic. I thought
this went without saying, but based on this discussion, probably not.)
