I seem to recall that in Conan often wizards were the heads of huge armies and/or nations. For instance, the guy from _Tower of the Elephant_ was not formally the king of the nation he lived in, but he pretty much could make the king do whatever he wanted.

The most suspension of disbelief thing about magic is its lack of effect on environment, society and people. And its lack of explanation to that lack of effect.

If it's easy to use, why didnt people apply it more in life, combat, and generalities.

If it's hard to use, it's not kewl and epic and shit.

That's why I like the Tippyverse. Life is changed greatly even at the lowest levels (And changed even more by chain gating Solars).
