Depends what you mean by practice. If you mean just walking through the game and casting spells as you need them, then you would be lucky to get the magic school in the 70's by the end of the game ( assuming you didn't hang around longer then you had to ). This could vary depending on how many points you put into magic skills every level.
If you powertrained then you can get all your magic skills including magic realms to 100, it just takes maybe twice as long as if you had intellegence at max.
However, you can get a helm that gives you +20 intellegence, and a shield that gives + 10. You can equip them every time you want to train your magic skills.
I always powertrain my spellcasters even before they have over 70 intellegence. It takes a little longer but still isn't that bad.
