Think of realism for a second, (yes I realize that force-X spels are hard
to get...) in general, it is more likely that you are going to get away
with carrying a spell, --which cannot be detected by any means, (except by
assensing to find out if the person's a mage)-- than a cannon, which is
huge and easily recognizable...
