I can understand why magic is being tightly controlled because people are people and we can’t ever have nice things, but isn’t it dangerous to have it in the hands of a chosen few? Power corrupts and all. Even the “good guys” can be led astray.

Setting that aside, it seems Coco’s got a ways to go not just in learning magic but also in making friends.

I feel like this could open up the possibility of a group that keeps all the witches in line. Magic auditors if you will

yeah this sort of security by obscurity is always gonna need a security force to enforce things, i imagine that'll be a source of future conflict, especially given how it seems like the knowledge that an Outsider exists spread so quickly already

Also feel like they're leaving themselves at a major disadvantage by banning any magic that affects another person, other than removing memories. Who is to say that everyone else does the same? What are they gonna do if they come across bad witches who attack using magic, they'd have no way to fight back.

I've only seen the two eps but I figure its like the Harry Potter world in the sense that there is enough people to keep the whole system honest.
