Or you simply kill them all
There are a number of groups that will attack you - but each group only appears after you cast a spell. Hence it is likely that more groups will appear if you cast arcane spells in future (unless you buy a license to allow you to cast spells freely).
on group number 6 they finally have had enough of your spell casting shenanigans and bring out the elite members
after you finish off group 6, they will never ever bother you again
so why pay 5000 gold in the government district to not make them come when you can just take them out for sweet spoils and XP, win/win for everyone, well maybe not for the cowled wizards but hey, thats what they get heh
Because my Mage Bhaalspawn is Lawful, duh.
Which might be expected to make him even more angry at a group which extorts money with menaces rather than applying a proper legal process ...
Lawful Evil would also get mad at the extortion (You're extorting my money? Do you even know who I am?).
Lawful Neutral would look to see if the extortion was being done under the color of law or not, and then probably still get mad at it (the law is being unfairly applied).
I am positive i did not use any spells, it was 100% a glitch because when i went back to the Goverment building, a cowled wizard appeared as before, but instead of attacking it just banished.

Creatures summoned by the game normally have a time limit and, at the end of that, they disappear. However, it's standard behavior that you only see them disappear when you're in the same area. Hence, if you use an area transition to return to an area where summons are out of time, you will see the summons momentarily before the game deletes them. That behavior sounds like what you are describing.
If you want to test whether the Cowled Wizards were responding to the use of a spell you could just cast an arcane spell. The game allows you to do this once without retribution - instead a single Cowled Wizard appears and gives you a warning. If the use of a single spell results in a group of them appearing, that indicates that they have recorded earlier use of spells.
It's always one wizard initially appearing; the dialogue is what triggers more of them.
I already used a spell once in the city by mistake, since then i haven't used it once. Those cowled wizards only appeared when i traveled to the goverment district and nowhere else.
Was that your first visit to the Government District since getting warned for casting Arcane in public?
No and no. This is how it happened.
- I went to the goverment district a few times to complete some other quests, no issue
- Jaheira gets cursed by this dude in the bridge inn
- Went to the slums to continue the quest
- Then go to the goverment district and get attacked as soon as i enter (no time to cast anything since this happens right away)
- If i tried to cast any magic during the ensuing fight, another group of mages spawn again (with dialog and everything), so this makes me thing that the first group is glitched
- Check other districts to see if the same thing happens, no issues
- Kept tryng to go to the goverment district multiple times and it keeps happening
- Then changed strategies and decided to do some other stuff, i went to explore the sewers for a bit
- Go back to the Goverment district, mage spawns but dissapears inmediatly
Thats pretty much it
