[His voice is a little hard now. Word choice? Does this man know anything of mages? He'd ask... but he doesn't care to use his name yet and that's where personal inquiries tend to head.]
Captivity is the opposite of freedom, and what we had was captivity. Therefore, while Autonomy is another word for what mages should have, it is not the whole of it. Freedom truly is an applicable word here.
And I would change it with schools where people, mage and not, can come and go as they please. Where one can learn but not be held against their will. Where if someone is afraid of their gift they can stay if they choose to, but it does not cost those who can manage. Where non-mages learn alongside mages and thus can realize we're people too, with the same drives, desires, and fears as anyone else, and the same right to live.
