This thread here over at The Other Forums got me thinking on this.

As per SR4 Street Magic, p. 22: “First, the Awakened comprise the smallest minority of the world’s population. Less than one percent of the Sixth World’s populace even has the potential to use magic. Of that one percent, only a fraction has the training, focus, or discipline to use it effectively; the rest either go mad trying or spend their entire lives ignorant of the power at their fingertips.”

All-in-all, that means magic-users are still fairly rare in the Sixth World. So, here are my proposed numbers:

Out of 1 million people:

1% is 10,000 people.

6,500 are either untrained (and not likely to get that training) or just don’t have the disposition to wield magic
1,000 are Sorcery-Aspected Magicians
1,000 are Conjuring-Aspected Magicians
1,000 are Adepts
400 are Enchanting-Aspected Magicians
100 are Full Magicians

So, if you’re a Full Magician, you are literally 1 in 10,000.

Your thoughts?
