About magicians' meeting in John Uskglass's days

[pretty_plant]

Considering how terrible the York society is and how literally nobody in it has any kind of common sense and likes to argue rather than be sensible and admit themselves to be wrong, I wonder how the meetings between magicians back in the days of John Uskglass would be like.
It is likely that they also had no common sense and liked to argued. Coupled that with the fact they were likely mad or half-mad and could actually hurt each other through magic, the meetings would be very interesting, indeed.
