A certain percentage of the population has the potential to use magic. IN YOUR OPINION, what is the perfect percentage? 1 in 100? 1 in 10? 1 in 10,000?
>depends on the setting
Your ideal setting.

1/3
100% they just have to put forth the effort to learn it or obtain it.
In games where I run a modern fantasy game in something like D20 Modern, I do 6.66%. Enough that it is a proven reality, and a specific and weird enough number that the Christians lose their shit.
Only one, and it is I, DIO!
Ah, I dig this style as well. What percent do you think ever make it to becoming a wizard, in that case?
This would probably be a really fun number to do if it was automatic, since that's enough people developing supernatural powers for them to be "normal", but there's still a minority of them.
Depends on my ideal setting
Also, 1 in 1 million.
Well, I mean.. what do I want out of this? I have no perfect setting. They have ups and downs. Do I want to play not!Avatar? Low fantasy pseudo-England? Magical High School Adventure Go?
I like this the best of all though, if pushed.
It would fucking suck if some people just had magical wiz jizz and you're confirmed literal shit-tier because you can't manifest the infinite power of christ and dragon souls to conjure car sized diamonds while you're stuck with an iPhone a couple versions out of date and a chip on a corner.
Best that people can be talented in it, but everyone gets a fair shot at archwizardom. No fucking chosen ones.
