Not segregated enough to prevent intermarriage.

Wizardry makes forging documents, AND their reflection in distant
files or computer databases, trivially easy. Maybe it also provides
ways to learn Muggle skills, such as driving a car or speaking
nother language or doing Calculus, instantaneously or overnight.
Suppose there were a Potion that would give truth to the old school
child theory that if you went to sleep with your head on an open
textbook instead of a pillow, you would wake in the morning knowing
everything in that textbook?
