Rogue Wizards of Pengaldia

In this context, "Rogue Wizard" refers to anyone with arcane magic who is resident in Pengaldia who is not a Gray Robe.
Not everyone who has magic potential in Pengaldia wants to become a Gray Robe, despite Pengaldian law. Some hide their potential and learn magic in secret. In some cases, the local authorities overlook a bit of rudimentary ability, but Gray Robes Seekers are constantly seeking new recruits for the Gray Robes and have a duty to seek out anyone with the power. If a potential mage is found to be deliberately avoiding Gray Robe service, he is subject to the following sanctions.
*He may be forced into Gray Robe academy at Grimweade Academy, with demerits already on his record for avoiding service, making prestigious service less likely.
*If particularly defiant, the potential mage may have his magical ability sealed ("capped" in the parlance of the Seekers), as well as face prison time and removal of a hand.
*Rogue mages who prove to be habitually criminal or dangerous are burned to ashes.
*Seekers may travel with Guardians, or even a Battlemage. There is a good chance that a rogue wizard does not survive being apprehended.
Those who develop in different magical paths are dealt with as such. The Seekers are looking for arcane magic. Divine don't work for them.
*The Magus, Sorceror, Summoner and Wizard are totally getting drafted or capped.
*Adepts should become Gray Robes, but if they keep it simple and low-level, they can possibly get by.
*Alchemist's magic does not register as a potential Gray Robe. They do not have a legal requirement to enlist, however, it would be suggested that it would be to their advantage. The Pengaldian government is starved for alchemical goods, and there is much which it restricts on the open market. There is an Alchemical brigade in the Makers division where the alchemists are left to do what they do.
*Bards are subject to being impressed into the Gray Robes (and thus having their career switched). Most Gray Robes of an entertainment bent get made into Gray Robe Servers where they can continue to entertain as well as work their standard duties, though there are some Gray Robe Battlemages that when they start strumming you'd better duck for cover. Despite this, there are a good number of bards who quickly find wealthy and influencial patrons who make sure the Seekers "don't notice any potential" in them.
*Witches are a special case. Their magic does not register as a potential Gray Robe, but they are considered potentially dangerous. There has been several purges of Witches over the years, but it has been found that the local communities thaat they inhabited have suffered from their loss over the years. Plus the purges have been rough on the Gray Robes, especially the Seekers who are known to have a certain sympathy with them. Current doctrine is to maintain distant but respectful relations with witches at the local level, while discouraging any with any but the most obvious witching ability from becoming one. What is not well known is that the Gray Robes has a "Special Magic Regiment" that is largely populated with Witches (as well as other non-conformists) who serve Pengaldia.
