[Help] Need some advice on a fantasy novel.

[lumineth Realm Lord]

So, I'm trying to answer a few questions about how magic fits into society. I already have an established magic system, but need help.

Would magic be freely taught and practiced, or would it be overseen by some institutional organization? Or would one have to be part of this organization in order to practice?

What kind of tech would exist in this world? Would it incorporate magic in some way? Would there be drawbacks?

If magic were to be taught in an academy setting, how would it be taught, and what age would one learn it? Personally, I'm thinking college age.

My two cents worth: Any power creates problems in every society. So institution or organization is likely, and they would likely police that.
Who knows about the tech, perhaps amplifiers or magic neutralizers? Again the power and profit struggle, someone will always abuse it.
In a society where it is accepted and practiced, I would assume it starts in preschool or Kindergarten, and that system likely sorts education and advancement by how well you can perform. Special education and advancement for the skilled, crap jobs and oppression for those without skills. That is the human way, stomp on the weak, reward the creep. You end up with a dangerous imbalance, which is why we already have locks, blocks, and filters installed in humans.
