The Americas are slightly richer in manna than the planetary norm, but not so much as to distort the whole equation.
As to what spells are known. If a spell requires
Magery 2 or more, it is unknown. If a spell requires more than four prerequisite spells, it is unknown. The better known Colleges of magic are Plant, Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Illusion/Creation, Empathy and Communication, Animal Control, and Divination. Be lenient with these schools and very strict on others.
Alchemical study combined with certain potions can grant a person
Magery-0. Individuals born and raised in a Normal Manna zone are more likely to become Mages. Individuals who naturally become Mages can become much stronger mages than those who don't.
