Concerning magia users...

Our first question on magia users themselves:

Is there a numerical limit to the number of wizards in the world? Why?

If we define wizard as a magic user in general, then no; there is not--any being can potentially use magia because the Twelve Stones constantly generate it.

If we define wizard as a high powered wielder of magia, then yes, there is a sort of limit--only 144 wizards (the twelve Holders (guardians) of the Twelve Stones, and each Holder's twelve attendants) have access to the very high powered spells--the kinds that can wreck havoc on the world if put in the wrong hands. Potential candidates go through a rigorous application process that includes a written exam, a spellcasting demonstration, an interview, and a quest determined by the Holder (if the candidate is applying for an attendant), or the High Seer (if the attendant is applying to be a Holder), among other things
