But they could if they were. Damn . . . that's really something. The idea of just buying your magic in a shop boggles the mind. Most people in my world don't know magic is real, and going around telling them could get you punished or killed. You have to be born with magic circuits and raised as a mage to know what you're doing, or that you can do it at all.
Huh. It's strange to consider a world where magic isn't common but I guess magic is a little different across, what's the world? Multi-planar... something or other.
It's something like another biological system that you're either born with or you aren't. Everyone's born with a nervous system, a circulatory system, all those, but the magic circuits that control the production and flow of prana only exist within certain people. It's like how you couldn't pump blood without a heart. One of the reasons my magic sucked so hard back home is because mine's nothing special, the same way someone might be born with a heart defect. It's not something you can gain, get rid of, or change.

Anyway. What's a magic circuit?
