With the right adjustments to these parameters, almost any type of changes or none can be inferred.

I'm assuming normal magic with magic out in the open and legal—probably a decent number of mages, but even a single community around one mage could be interesting. Like a single caster leading a ceremonial casting with a hundred untrained assistants can cover maybe five acres with one casting if my math is right. The biggest limit on productivity might be how many apples a person can pick in a day, at least once you get to something like 1 mage per 5000 people capable of assisting rituals.
