How would it be possible to enforce a hard magic system when each mage can develop one magic of theirs to a point where they can cast it with little to no cost, apart from maybe it acting is if it were exercise. Most mages tend to choose a magic that there isn't a specialist of within day trip distance of their settlement if the fastest mode of transport is a horse, allowing them to basically use it as a signature. I pretty much see it this way: mage becomes a true master mage after achieving this state, but generally are discounted if it's thought that they were trained by a true master of that field.
I'm struggling to find a way to keep the magic system soft enough to allow this but hard enough that it isn't a "all your problems are solved" thing.
