I said the top lord/lady and their heirs wouldn't be wizards, clerics, druids, and warlocks and sorcerers is a class of chance. However a third son/daughter or a branch family might turn to magic for the main family. Or they might take that edition's method of snagging a few spells.The base assumption is that learnable full classing is time consuming. Wizardry takes up all your time and being a cleric requires being a full time priest for a period of time. This is not compatible with a sterotypical noble who needs to be a full time ruler and run diplomacy for the family. You don't want to wait 30 years for the heir to grind enough levels at home for them to not be ultra squishy. Many modern setting have wizardry and divine magic much easier or has nobles bred to be sorcerers. However that is not the base assumption. The base assumption doesn't have a magically adept nobility in short lived races unless they go full tiefling.</blockquote>
