Magic levels are constantly rising; there are numerous acidemic texts and
wierdness magazines being published all the time that discuss new
phenominon. I find magic SOTA one of the more plausable parts of the SOTA
rules.

For example; I have a crate of 100 Heavy Pistol rounds sitting in my flat.
Armor comes up on the STOA roll, so these 100 rounds suddenly become more
effective against armor!?!

Magical Theory and hermetic librarys.
