For most campaigns, I've done it by the default--you're either born with it, or you aren't. And if you have Magery 1, you can't study and get Magery 2.

That said, I have done exceptions. For one example, I have an ultra-tech genetic engineer who can eugenically implant the genes for Magery into someone who doesn't already have it.

And if you can ever get hold of a Great Wish....

In most of my campaigns, it is a trait gained through spiritual development and spiritual bargains. Of course, I prefer to use RPM nowadays, so it is not that big of a leap, as mundanes can technically use RPM, just very, very badly. Even so, there is no particular reason why someone could not use similar rules for any magical system, though it depends on the setting.
