While not bad, I should explain that magic is not an easy skill to learn, and it's certainly not something that one could pick up especially for young children. Though I wanted to explain it IC, here is how magic works: Even the most basic spell saps away at your stamina, even if you fail to cast it. And unlike normal physical actions where trying to do things beyond your limits will have your body react in such a way that basically says "Don't do this you're going to hurt yourself", magic doesn't have that same limiter. The damage the body takes for casting spells to the point they're physically injuries is called "Blood Sickness", mainly because over use of one's magic actually drains the blood from your body, commonly resulting in very desiccated corpses. 

For Gulzbak to have tried to light a match via magic at such a young age wouldn't just leave him with disappointment, but sever and often lethal blood lost for children. It's one of the primary reasons why there isn't any child mages; they don't survive the small mistakes that happen when casting spells. Adult bodies might not be able to handle it any better, but their chances of surviving is generally better. It's also why I made it a point to mention when races reach their physical maturity as it does play a very important role for when someone would be suitable to start trying to learn magic.

Additionally for Alaphaine to try and cast multiple spells and having no supplies to replenish himself would also result in his quick death, more so since he was already in dire straights before that.

Magic in this RP is something that really relies on the caster being physically capable. The usual image of a squishy wizard who is magically mighty but physically frail just isn't viable, as magic [i]relies[/i] entirely on your physical health and fortitude in order to utilize, rather than anything mental like willpower or intelligence. It's also why nearly anyone who knows magic learns it via academies and colleges; there's no real safe way to train even if you have family who are somewhat capable of magic. Again, IC I would introduce a crash course of the difficulties of magic and how one goes about to actually being able to prepare themselves to casting spells, even ones as simple as lighting a match or moving some dirt.
