Where would a breton learn magic apart from a court wizard?

Witches, for a start. There's loads of covens and cults in High Rock. If they're more proper and still from a wealthy background, then there are probably plenty of independant wizards and academic institutions for teaching magic in the province without considering the courts and kingdoms. I assume the Breton in question is raised in High Rock - otherwise the possibilities are too many to list. Also, there is a great tradition of magic in all areas of Breton society; it's possible that she or he was simply raised with it around, and took it in naturally.

I can't name any besides Gwylim which HQ brought up (which as far as I know, deals mostly with lore and knowledge of a more scholarly and less flashy and magical sort) but the "temple" of Julianos in TES II functions as a http://uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:School_of_Julianos - seeing as Julianos is associated with magic as well as logic, education, mathematics and so on, there is probably a good amount of magical teaching in the School of Julianos branches.

But srsly, every Bret lad or lass, between the birds-and-the-bees talk, and the your-mother-and-I-have-been-talking-and-we-think-it's-time-you-moved-on talk, gets sit down by ma and pa and told about the cosmic background radiation that fuels the thaumaturgical expressions of their own inner psycho-asterism.

I may need to hold on to that... With proper credit, of course. It's just too hilarious to let slip by.
