Nope I meant the "classic" ... well meaning. Taking it apart to learn how it was made and then build your own versions with the knowledge you gained from the process.

Considering how everyone, even those who are not mages, can already use magic items that come with their own power-source/magic-power-storage and how Mystogan was even able to become an S-Class mage without any magic of his own body, I don't really see the need to make normal people into mages.

With ethernano being so abundant in Earthland, it's got to be possible to construct magic items that simply re-charge by themseles over time... that is, if they don't work that way from the start.
