Caliglyphy

Since the first Starfall, intra-system law has been spotty and difficult in Cordens. The disparate cultures and values thereof make such legislation hard to enact, and harder still to prosecute. However, some small number of laws have been universally passed and see heavy enforcement to this day. Of note is a particular restriction on merchants; Powdered gemstones require multiple forms of ID for purchase, and all those who purchase said powders must be registered into an interplanetary database for reference across country lines. The purchase of spcific inks is subject to a similar degree of red tape, and both in conjunction are also subject to a week-long waiting period.
These restrictions are in place due to a very specific subset of magic known as Caliglyphy, less a "school" so much as an emphasis on magicks that make use of glyphs and runes. Due to the hazardous potential of spells such as Glyph of Warding and its ilk, the materials required for setting up Caliglyphic magicks (the aforementioned inks and dust) are regulated, taxed, and watched heavily.
