maybe a forum of even a thread on where exactly people come from so if you are looking for a informal tutor or even somebody to talk to about magic etc. a place to organise meetings and such like
just a random idea because i know of no other magicians in the immediate area i could talk to
we could always add a "search location" function, i know some other forums do it, not sure about these ones. although, of course, many people do put silly things like "here" in their location
