It statesSo, yes. The setting that is a magical college that focuses on using magic, is a little vague on what to do if you want to play a Human Champion Fighter who has no magic whatsoever. I'm not sure why we would expect it to devote a lot of effort to "if you refuse to engage with the premise of the campaign". And yet, it still says it is open to people who have magic through feats, items, or non-spell abilities. It even directly states it isn't about studying magic, but studying things with magic. Which means if someone wants to play the muggle.. they can do that, but they have to be engaging with the setting to understand that is an intentional struggle. Heck, I'm not even sure it is an actual struggle, as the character could be a scholar who utilizes magical items to make up for a lack of inborn magical talent. This is only a problem if you MAKE it a problem.</blockquote>
