Bane of Populations.

[Frustration]

So I have a population concern in my work, what percentage of the population to make into magic users?

I want a percentage that will almost always be relevant, but not so large that it makes normal people irrelevant.

I have worked out 1 in 1,000 at the moment but I want some other input as some of you are doubtless more experienced in this area than I am.

Edit: at first a supermajority of the users will be missed, but as time goes on and nation's get more centralized, the number that are missed will go down, and I don't want to change the occurance rate

Is it genetic? If not there it needs a VERY different number then if it is

It is not genetic, no.

Ok I'd put in the 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 so it's up to you but I wouldn't go any higher than that (you could call it epigenetic and save some hassall it can do the same thing so it would probably work)
