Many a times I speak like that. Add 'ers' & 'ings' to everything. Still, I guess it's okay if people do understand.

Okay, what about this?
I once suggested the commoners got resilence just as the mosquito's got resistence to DDT over the years. But they got resistence because DDT was sprayed on them. The commoners on the other hand hardly experince magic as much as the actual magicians do. So should'nt the magicians have got resilence first?

Resilience is whn Magic bleeds into the population through natural mans.
The same way a pool of water must take the shape of it's containers and spread out if need be, magic always spreads and infects (in a good way.)
Magicians take pains to be as isolated from Djinn as posilbe, with protective spells, chrams, amulets, and the actual pentacle itself.
Resilience comes to the commoners first because the magicians Don't want it.

Umm, makes sense. Not the magicians not wanting resilence though.
