I am a little confused about the presence of Mages and permitted spells inside Erothin and wondered if I have missed a book or something?

I was under the impression that Mages were illegal in the towns under Barateon's control and that the Witch Bells alerted the Guards to any spells cast inside city walls. When I arrived at Erothin for "The Candidate of the City Guard", I was expecting to have to be very careful indeed to not draw attention to the fact that I was Gifted. The very first thing the quest has you do is cast a spell on the specific person in the quest yet there was no reaction from the Guards or Bells.

I saw the posters warning that Teleport was the only permitted spell inside the city (although I could not read the poster since it was in German). I saw at least one Witch Bell in one of the city districts yet there is also a location called the Mage's Cave which, according to the wiki, is a place for Mages to go and buy spells and train.

I have not been inside yet, for fear of blowing my cover but I wondered why it was permitted in the city? Have I missed a book explaining why some Mages are permitted in Erothin but spell casting is not? Why would I be allowed to go and train and buy deadly spells if I was supposed to be an unknown member of a prohibited Society?

I am confused and would appreciate an explanation. As far as spoilers are concerned, I have finished "The Candidate of the City Guard" and am back at the Sanctum for the next MQ.

if I'm not mistaken that's just some regular old plothole
(Nehrim does have one or two)

at least I don't remember there being any explanation.
could be wrong about that though
