set in place protective measures for blacktip reef sharks they’re listed as vulnerable and aren’t currently endangered but I want to be able to fuck around with people without them blasting me into smithereens
Unfortunately, We cannot ban entire categories of spells without quite a lot of research on quite a lot of things, including, but not limited to:
The current state of the environment in which most of these spells are being performed
the various outcomes that banning might have on both the magical community and the environment
whether or not we could ban a specific spell instead of an entire category and have the same results
As we are a nature-focused group, we are not responsible for protecting individual wizards from the consequences of their actions. We must focus on the environment as a whole.
While we are very happy that you love sharks and care deeply about them, unfortunately for you (but fortunate for the sharks) there's not a whole lot of shark-focused magic occurring widespread. Most wizards are based inland, so creatures such as bears and moose and big cats are much higher priority at the moment.
