Registering as a magic user really put me in a conundrum as a player. Actually history, as well as nerd history, has multiple instances where registering a number of the population did not turn out well. The Jewish people were registered by Nazis.

Their presence seeped into the region slowly, stoking violence, encouraging cruelty, and turning ordinary conflicts into something far darker. Raids grew bloodier. Feuds escalated into slaughter. Creatures touched by Chaos seemed drawn to the same places where violence had already taken root. Whether the zealots intended it or not, their devotion poisoned the land, feeding a cycle where every act of brutality made the next one easier.
