Under the law
law Only Glinda and the Wizard may practice magic 11 chapters
cried Dorothy, "it's against the law for anyone but Glinda and the Wizard to work magic in the Land of Oz, so if these two strange people are magic-makers they are breaking the law and ought to be punished!"
Glinda of Oz, ch. 1"I suppose you are aware it is unlawful to practice magic in the Land of Oz, without the permission of our Ruler, Princess Ozma?"
Glinda of Oz, ch. 21My father was a wizard, practicing magic in the Zamagoochie Country, before the practice of magic was forbidden in Oz, and it is to my father that I attribute my strange come-apartishness.”
The Gnome King of Oz, ch. 8Since the practice of magic has been forbidden for everyone except Glinda, the Good Sorceress of the South, and the Wizard of Oz, a great many of the lesser wizards and magic workers have retired to the mountains of the north to practice in secret or study for their own satisfaction the ancient art of wizardry.
The Gnome King of Oz, ch. 15“But I thought wizards were not allowed to practice magic in Oz,”
Grampa in Oz, ch. 4"Ozma has forbidden the practise of magic in Oz.
Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz, ch. 6“It’s unlawful to practice magic.
Kabumpo in Oz, ch. 18said Ozma, “I have forbidden any of my subjects except Glinda the Good and the Wizard of Oz to practice magical arts, because they cannot be trusted to do good and not harm.
The Lost Princess of Oz, ch. 25But Ozma of Oz, who rules everyone in the Land of Oz, had made a decree that no one should practice magic in her dominions except Glinda the Good and the Wizard of Oz, and when Glinda sent this royal command to the Hyups by means of a strong-winged Eagle, old Bini Aru at once stopped performing magical arts.
The Magic of Oz, ch. 1He had stolen this secret of transformation and he knew he had disobeyed the law of Oz by working magic.

Where the books disagree
disputed whether she is a fairy 3 chapters
Whether Glinda is a fairy is not settled. The Lost Princess of Oz says plainly that she is one, and immortal with it. Glinda of Oz has Glinda distinguish her own Sorcery from Ozma’s fairy magic, and has Ozma call herself the most powerful fairy in Oz while ranking Glinda above her — which only holds together if Glinda is not a fairy inhabitant.
Ozma is a fairy, and so is Glinda, so no power can kill or destroy them
L. Frank Baum · The Lost Princess of Oz, ch. 5 · 1917Ozma’s magic is fairy magic, while you are a Wizard and I am a Sorceress
L. Frank Baum · Glinda of Oz, ch. 20 · 1920while I am a more powerful fairy than any other inhabitant of Oz, I am not as powerful as Glinda the Sorceress
L. Frank Baum · Glinda of Oz, ch. 4 · 1920
