However, no offense, but it is pretty much irrelevant to a fantasy RPG.

I get what your saying here (and great point about the sword-smith, like
Indigo's Pop) but I keep being concerned about magic.
1 in 50 apprentices and 1 in 300 wizards (possible anyway) with Jobs for
martial wizards suggests to me that things could ramp up rather quickly in a
"world" war situation perhaps.
Of course, instead of observation planes there'd be wizard scrying and
whatnot and so on but I think the root idea of mobilizing the population for
an effort like that has some merit even if magic is much more restricted.
I'm pretty sure Gondor was mobilized to the hilt there at the seige.
Also, Europe was in recovery from a number of nasty knockdowns.
Other places in the world were on an upswing.
I guess I read the Crosstime Engineer stuff too much...
Not disagreeing with you.
Just saying I'm almost as scared of magic as I am of New Followers.
