The change in Quinn's Mana flow surprised everyone. Although the strength didn't change, the output stabilized beautifully now that Lucian promised to assist him in acquiring revenge. Even though laws existed to govern situations like this, punishing a Guardian was hard to enact.
It was similar to reprimanding a corrupt government official at the highest level. While they seemed to receive punishment, in reality, it was only a slap on the wrist compared to what a civilian would receive. Likewise, Guardians were held with the highest renown, allowing them to escape the repercussions of some actions.
For example, if provoked, then their retaliation wasn't on them. Even if they were deemed a lethal weapon, it was the confrontational party at fault. Therefore, the authorities weren't too keen about intervening.
