Is there anyone who observed this from the beginning, and could give
me a short history of the magic system in AC? Or knows where there is
such online?

I'm trying to put together various illustrations of online economics,
and two phenomena which I think illustrate the Tragedy of the Commons
well are AC's magic system, and UO's housing crunch. (This is
obviously not to mention hunting in general, in games oriented towards
hunting.)

Thanks, if you can help me.
