The point of that little diatribe is this: you're working on the assumption that "magic exists" automatically equals "everybody's suddenly an archmage." That's kind of a dumb assumption.
So, where will people be going for the "Pencil Levitation 101" classes? [grin]

And, yes, expecting most people to learn more than that, or even that much, is optimistic.

In Fenspace I suspect the risk of the "artificial archmage" is likely more of an issue, with the possible risk of the magical equivalent of the Singularity.
