oh yeah, blocking bands! i've got something like that in a personal universe, but they're more for people who can't control their magic. i feel like they'd be required for known magic users, which is why most magic users would keep their talents/powers hidden. and definitely in prisons, to prevent breakouts and fights and stuff.

i think is land is scarce, then where people can use the land, they'd have ground cities, but there wouldn't be too many of those, and they'd probably be more expensive to live in. They might even have a social structure that's the complete opposite of the floating city, depending on what value people place on land.

also it's easier to fall off a floating city than one on the ground, so floating cities have their own set of hazards. like, if one was attacked and its floating device was sabotaged, it'd be like a Sokovia-scale catastophe, for both the city and whatever was underneath it.
