IMC magic  is science. Just as most people IRL don't have the time and resources to have a doctorate, most people can't study magic full time.I figure it this wayIt takes 6 months to become an apprentice level mage2 years (an associates degree in magic if you will) will get you to 2nd level 4 years (a BSM Bachelorette sciences magical) will get you to 4th 5 years (graduate Emeretis-- ) 5th level6 years (doctor of magic) 6th level.Most people "peak" or reach the limit of what magic they can use soon afterIf they are the fairly rare types with the barins to go farther-- It will take 3 years or so to master each new spell level up to 6.For the even less common folks, the 2 percent or my "mensa" types 4 years each will get you through 7, 8, and 9Add a few years for lazy/peacefull mages and subtract a few for adventuring ones.An example-- A military veteran Human male age age 38 (20 years experience)STR-14INT-16WIS-10DEX-12CON-14CHA-12Wizard- 11Fighter- or some PRC that doesn't add spells levels 1He will have a bunch of potions and 4 or 5 magic items. Magic items aren't quite as common IMC as they require power components.These guys aren't super common---The bulk of the army by comparison is made up of War3 types.And yes I run a spell heavy game with lowish levels of permenant magic items.</blockquote>
