[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8429119, member: 7024481"] unless magic is rare enough that being a knight or blacksmith would be the less powerful or profitable path. Also with knights it would depend on how it fit the code of honor. Would it be ok for a knight with magical powers to duel with a knight that didn't have them? but if magic were common enough Id imagine anyone with minor talent would learn to use it. then your blacksmith could produce flame to start the fire, or even cast minor enchantments to make +1 armor if they had the talent. The final consideration is what is the cultural view of magic. Do magicians get burned at the stake? are they ostracized by normal society? Or are they looked up to for what the good ones can do? Even if they are productive members of society, they are probably viewed, best case, as the weird people who make deals with strange outsiders and mess with reality. Worst case potential devil worshippers that could turn on you at any moment. [/QUOTE]
