Mages and magic-users
Where I'm from one of the biggest lessons we learn early in our magic studies is to establish a warding circle. I'm not sure if this is the same anywhere else, but unpracticed mages are prone to spilling magic everywhere when they try to use it, so we stress the importance of making sure it can't get away from them. My first student, who was reluctant to recognise his magic in the first place as he had never heard of someone working magic through dance, neglected to consider this sort of necessity and accidentally levitated three cousins four feet into the air, where they were stuck for hours until he managed to track me down and bring me back to help him fix it.
It occurs to me that this radiation is, effectively, causing similar issues. I know I have taken to meditating more often and I've been careful to limit my magical use. Even so, I've already seen and heard grumblings from other residents about magic going wild and what they ought to do about it - some, I fear, less hypothetical than others.
Are there others of you familiar with methods used to contain magic in this way? Or who would be interested in learning such a technique? Obviously there aren't going to be any guarantees as to its effectiveness, but I suspect we need to be seen to be attempting to solve the problem or we may find ourselves quite unpopular.
