Ezra turns to Franklyn who answers the question.

"Not all," Franklyn says thoughtfully "Actually, let me calculate that."

Franklyn pull his smartphone from a pocket and does some calculation while talking with himself quietly.

"Okay, I using data from our world," he says taking a piece of napkin and a pen from another pocket he writes "all the numbers and chances in your world will be smaller. The hypothetical second generation would have at most 35% of magehood per kid... if you have three kids this means 72.5% chance of one mage or more. This if you don't use surrogates and you are having your own biological child. Using a surrogate that isn't a mage lowers the chances to 22% per kid, and using a non-mage egg lowers it to 29% per kid ," he writes more complementary numbers.

Franklyn offers the piece of paper to Ann.

"Now, children can inherit magehood," Franklyn continues "but only the strongest and oldest mage families have children with active powers and even then there is a proportional age-related strength. A child bellow the age of 7 with teleportation might teleport about... a total of 60 feet a day before being too magically exhausted to remember walking. Given our family own history and some complicated mage statistics, I would give you children 5% chance of a 7 year old or younger with powers and 85% chance of activating after the age of 15."
