Ergo, Wizards can't be exploited by capitalism
Imagine thinking that PhD's and postdocs aren't exploited by capitalism.
To be fair, PhDs and postdocs can't call down lightning from the sky or reanimate the dead to do their bidding.
Of course they can and do call down lightning; the magic spell is called "lighning rocket".
To revive the recently deceased a spell called CPR combined with Defibrilation is used.
Some wizards dedicate their lives to researching even higher level spells
Nor can they Magick-up all their needs, or transmute gold.
It's called a 3D printer, Amazon, and a particle collider https://glintpay.com/us/blog/modern-day-alchemy-making-gold-atoms-cern

"A bunch of resources" being a pile of ancient tomes and a cheap craptop running Linux, as opposed to a pile of ancient tomes and a runestone?
That one kind of magic would be capitalism. I mean the situation from OP post is the current state of liberal economics.
Yes
