i think it'd be interesting if, for societies that are more rigid and structured, people with magic outside of a couple outliers, might only be able to get so strong. Magic to me has always had a massive mental element to it, and someone might not be able to do something advanced because 'everyone knows that's impossible without generations of careful breeding and extensive education', whereas Grug the village idiot is capable of causing volcanoes to erupt or city walls to collapse because nobody ever told him that's impossible for someone like him <|endoftext|>
