Yeah there's also the matter of making sense like why would someone wanting to become a great historian take a huge career detour through a magic academy I think if you ever do add the academy you should make an incentive like a very exclusive library or something like that

I am sure there would be enough benefits, and if joining the guilds is cool, then learning more about magic and having professors you can consult on various matters should also be interesting for our heroine. There is a library in the map already, so it would make sense to use it too, but I wonder what could be the "specialty", so to speak.
