It is a question of setting...in Normal Mana you need to have Magery.
How many people have Magery 0 (5 pt) Advantage? Similar to the number of people with Flexibility/Ambidexterous/Charisma/Eidetic 1?? More? Less??
Magery 1 (15 pts) Perfect Balance? Luck?
and of those people with inborn talent...how many are found and trained??
After all mebbe I could be the shortstop for the Boston Red Sox...but no one found me in Little League and gave me the intenste training needed so...
Some settings everyone can work a little magic (High Mana)...but IME in a lot of settings Mages are fairly rare.
FREX..in The Lord of the Rings...1200 ish pages...IIRC Gandalf cast a Light spell in Moria...that was it...and he only met ONE other wizard...Saurman.
YMMV...
