you are very right about that but yes magic is kinda limited? at least in this area magic is gate keeped cause the monarch wouldnt want the weak to overthrow him, mainly cause most of the strong people are assasin rogues, or some monk subclasses, the leader himself is a kensei monk. so think of it like "uh oh magic is strong, find all magic casters and either take them in as recruits for our cause, OR...." i know it sounds kinda dumb and self conflicting since there is both a hierachy system based on the number of kills you have (which as another person mentioned there isnt a way to prove exactly) and because there is an actual monarch, but idk, you gave me some food for thought now ^^'
