My apologies if this is in the wrong place or if someone's already talked about this, I didn't see anything on it.
I think I have to explain some stuff about my world quickly:
So there's this angel-ish race (humanish with wings but also cat ears and fur cos it's cold) living in/on the clouds. They aren't magic, as such, but they have these things called Wishes that they "forge" which are the most powerful magic thingies in, like, ever. They are used to change the shape of reality, whether that's putting a castle on a hill where there was no castle or making the clouds solid etc. I'll add the link to my page on it if you want to read a bit more in depth.
The point is, you have to be really super smart and knowledgeable to be able to use these things. If you're a Wish mage (the people who or break, or cast, the Wishes) who specializes in buildings, say, you have to know a lot about buildings and how they're put together and stuff so you don't end up with a house that has windows instead of doors or leaks or has no roof.
So the smart people are technically the most powerful, because they can effectively use Wishes. The big dream in the culture is to become the next big Wish mage and like create these amazing things and stuff. So my question is, can I or how can I create a society/government where the education system is the most powerful entity? Where the principal of the Academy is the head of state, essentially?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance!
