Sure, eventually the understanding of manadynamics will be at a point where such a thing is possible. By the point it's possible, however, civilization (or the species) will have changed to the point where it won't happen. Maybe there'll be strong protective wards laid down by the local EPA, maybe the local aurors spend their time fending off would-be terraformers, maybe it happens every other Tuesday and the Sorcerer Supreme rewinds reality every time, or hell maybe they ignited Jupiter with wavetech or hardtech methods twenty years back and all this nonsense is aimed at reversing that.
The point of that little diatribe is this: you're working on the assumption that "magic exists" automatically equals "everybody's suddenly an archmage." That's kind of a dumb assumption.
To all: The LORD your Mod has heard your cries, and initial rulings will be coming forthwith. Tonight at the earliest/latest, I think.
