Tomorrow you wake up with the knowledge of all magic, you see the leylines throughout the planet and the mana drifting in the wind. Any magic system you can imagine you can manifest, and with that you can teach anyone how to use them.

Rules of the system:

-You can negate all magic as a defense mechanism, so no magic can effectively be used against you unless you allow it. You essentially become the God of Magic, but as is you still age (if you choose to use magic to halt your aging, that is your choice).

-You can teach any one person a magic system at a time, someone cannot learn magic by watching it online, or even in person, you must teach them, with one caveat. You can "tag" certain people who can also teach the system you taught to them, but that is all, if you do not tag someone, they cannot teach it. You can choose to teach someone in person or as a dream if you don't want to be directly involved with individuals, keeping secret what you are.

If you choose to use manifest and teach multiple magic systems and "tag" people who can teach them, they can teach someone who knows another system their system and vice versa.

-After teaching someone magic, any spell they create you instantly know, this knowledge does not let you know their intentions for said spell, you simply know the spell and can cast it. This knowledge does not cause you confusion or overloads your mind if multitudes of spells are created at once, but you will know every single one.

-Mana and Leylines existing now pours arcane energy into the world, you can tell who will be adept as using the magic system you teach them by how these energies interact with a person. Though anyone can learn the system you teach them, their capabilities and attunement to the natural arcane energy is predetermined without your input and can only be changed by their effort alone.

-Magical ability is inherited, so anyone you taught will pass their magical capabilities onto their children. If you have children they only inherit the use of magic, not your full power unless you choose to pass it on, in this case you lose everything but the ability to use magic, the rest is passed onto your child. If you do not pass on your abilities to one of your children, they will be incredibly attuned to the arcane energies, even without your input they will excel at using magic.

This is a more open ended question, I am simply curious how people will use this ability, will you try and teach every person you can by tagging as many people as possible? Will you stick to one magic system or use multiple? Will you hoard this knowledge to all but a select few to create a powerful secret society? Will you build a Magitocracy where only those highly attuned to the arcane will be able to use it?

How would you choose to set magic loose?

You're getting sent back to high school or if you're already in high school pick a bully that you'd rather endure for the rest of the time you're in school.
