After a full physical inspection of a prisoner who is believed to be a user of Magic, the physical site of their Tuning will be found a large a scar upon the body. Mostly this scar will be somewhere along the spine or back of the skull, sometimes the chest, above the sternum. If no such scar is found, the No-Gloves should be loosened and removed and the Jail's Surgeon should reset the hands of the prisoner. . .
A Magic-user, so bound, will find it impossible to direct their energies despite their Tuning being intact. Upon the decision of the Judges following trial, all Magic-users will be turned over to their Order, who may or may not issue their own punishments, up to and including De-Tuning."
-From the Manual for Guardsmen on handling Magic-users
