Bearing in mind that some effects do not have DCs at all - sometimes they just have a Save for the subject of the magic.

And not all magical efforts require a Fatigue check, either. It's a limiting factor only for some forms of magic, while others can be used all day long. I don't have the book with me, but if memory serves, Water Shaping, which allows you to do things like raise or lower the water level or, um, idunno, the kinds of things that the name "water shaping" might imply, see? Making spouts of water, i guess. Anyway, this is fatiguing, so you can't do it all day. Second Sight, is another arcanum that allows the detection of magic and so forth, and you can keep detecting 'til the cows come home.

The game really makes magic more available to any character, although the Adept role gets the most out of it. All else being equal, you can expect the Adept to have more ranks in any given Arcanum (the magical "skill") than a character of another role of the same level; Adepts also get to use some Arcana untrained.
