That would make a lot of sense, you are born with the talent to be able to cast magic i.e have the magic advantage, but without proper training this talent isnīt worth much.
Compared to for example sports that would fit to the semirealistic approach GURPS takes mostly. It is amazing to see what people who are nearly bare of any talent can reach if the only train hard enough for a long time and have a trainer who is worth the name. Sometimes they beat even in local championships folks with a lot of talent i.e. both parents former athlets, who lack this zeal.
