It depends on setting's assumption, but if:1. Magic is studied, not dependant on any more natural talent that inborn aptitude to says, maths2. Linear Fighters, Quadratic Wizard is a thing in the game rulesThen, the aristocracy would have her children study wizardry instead of pointy-stick-wielding. In the initial deal for protection, peasants would as much turn to the guy in robe (who can fireball the bandits away) as much as to the mounted warrior guy... A magocracy doesn't need to be conquered by wizard against the established social order, they can just open their universities door to noblemen children. Wait a few generations and both social groups'interest will align perfectly. That's when you start closing the university's door to villains and start the methodical badmouthing, then eradication, of sorcerous lines and warlocks, whose magic defile the natural order upheld by the noble, honourable and brave families depositary of the knowledge of the ancient and wise ancestors.</blockquote>
