[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7865222, member: 93670"] Not every magewright produces things outside of reach for the poor. Keith did a pretty good [URL='http://keith-baker.com/tag/magewrights/']post[/URL] on them & they come up in wgte plus a little in mormisc/rising. Some of the ones he mentions are chef, launderer, lamplighter, locksmith, medium, & oracle. A poor person can eat at a restaurant where a chef makes food even if it's earlybird special or with a coupon, but they can afford it. A poor person might not have lights that are as fancy or ubiquitous as a middle class or wealthy person, but they might be interested in & able to hire a lamplighter during the off season or maybe they buy a light made by one & try hard not to lose or break it. Similar goes to all the others. A poor person who has a job that requires nice clothes will be getting paid enough to afford the services of a launderer who can ritually mend their nice work clothes for a whole lot less than the cost of some one off first level spell casting even if it's still a first level spell... That launderer's specialized ritual mending is limited to clothes & won't help with your wagon's broken axle.
