That's how they separate the haves from the have-nots. They say we've got an equal society, a meritocracy, but they make it so all the good jobs only go to people who study magic. And people like me, poor people, we're not allowed to even read about magic. So the rich ones they've taught magic to, they get to have the good jobs.
[ A little shrug. ]
The same crap that goes on in every world. Just using different tools. Here, people are kept down by being born into the wrong families, or by getting sent to bad schools. Where I'm from, it's magic that divides all of us.
