If everyone can cast it at low cost, it'll proliferate and we'll probably get the same social structure with different ways of doing things. If it's hideously expensive, it will remain the plaything of rich people who won't use it. If it's hideously hard, a very few people will master it - an outcast radical, a dangerous psychopath, a devoted hermit. They all have strong motivation, and the means to implement their beliefs with force. Like superheroes, kinda. They're all people with the drive to both develop and use these powers.So you could concievably have a sort of 'superhero' culture spring up, where everyone tries to go about their lives as normal, but every so often some psycho tries to blow up the royal palace and someone else shows up to stop them, flying above the rooftops. And frankly, a lot of spellcasters already dress like superheroes. Especially female casters.Cough.</blockquote>
