Houston is known to have dealers . <| sep |> It is easily acquirable through practice and study . After all , it is something that everyone can do . Kinda like handicraft , or smithing . It ' s a skill , and nothing really special . It became something of an ' everyday life ' matter .

Not to mention , the common people have grown to loathe all of magic invariably . Currently , it ' s practically hereditary , with elders passing down all that they still know down to the newer generation . Each clan or community develops distinct ' styles ' of the bare basics of the same art , with members of each group being unable to switch ' styles ' due to the severity of the deformations and oversimplifications each ' style ' makes . At least , not without difficulty .
