What would the chart be if it was recessive, then?
Anyway, given this distorbution, the thing that springs to mind most readily is randomly checking magic aptitude for non-caster characters in a game (If your character's primary skills include casting, congratulations! your magic gene is PP or PY! If not, roll to see if you might have some hidden talent for it) probably with a d20 and filling the extra eight slots with Not Present. Of course, it doesn't do much good if you get a Carrier result, well, not unless your setting has mad wizards or Mr. Sinister playing silly buggers with the genes of hapless captured heroes. And how often does that happen?
- CD, As for social pressures making the rare powerful female caster morer valuable... well, that's how you get a matriarchal magical empire on the moon for the princess to hail from
