Mention was made that knowledge of how to use magic was kept fairly centralised. However, under the new circumstances, a lot of people will know far more than they did (although not, I assume, about magic). And they're going to see how the new stuff measures up against the old - farmers testing farming the 'new way' against the old way, soldiers seeing that these tanks are pretty neat...
Information is power and there's a lot going on. So what's happened at the universities that sprang up everywhere? Are there courses about magic, and if so then who is picketing them as obsolete and who just doesn't want the secrets to get out.
In all probability, the peasentry couldn't write. Now most of them have the equivalency of what, high school? Probably an awful lot of people are seeing opportunities to get ahead in the 'new order' and get out from under the old lords and what not.

You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
