@Rakhasa: Three thoughts about your idea...
first, were the Wizards really hurt that much more than the other belters and the ninjas?
second, would Noah give the secret of Magic away early for a section that just have been traumatized and might loose it completely?
third... if they managed to rebuild during their "secret times", would they really go out into the open with their knowledge, or would they just tell the rest of Fenspace "we do magic... no, we will not tell how." ?
