Just a quick warning...
Magic used by anyone other than Mages is PROHIBITED. The only way a peasant will be able to use magic is if they either
A) Become an apprentice of the Spellblade Academy
B) Get specific lessons from a Spellblade Trainer, such as the Archmage.
If you choose A, you will be forced to join the academy indefinitely. You are also prohibited to woning lands outside of the Academy borders. Also, you will be forced to help with transit management, such as building roads, teleporters, and more.
If you choose B, you will be able to live outside the Academy and will not have any affiliation with the Academy, but you will also be unable to recharge your spellweapon without the help of a Mage.
