Hmm, well I think it could be interesting, particularly depending on what city you decided to center in (if any.)
Going for Gridania would put you in contact with Conjurey and the Padjal which have an interesting history, and while I don't want to spoil anything, going through the quest line as well as finding some one IC to tutor you would provide an interesting experience, you could reflect on the quests with the person you come to learn from.
Or perhaps Limsa might serve better, I was considering the point "seeing magic" that would influence you interacting with some one would be more likely in places where it has constructive uses, and while I dearly love Ul'dah, there aren't many going around throwing fire (thankfully). Where as Limsa would be able to provide a setting for you to interact due to the ability to use the Arcanist/Scholar pets as the "Magic" you become interested in (if that sounds along the lines of what you might like.) This is assuming you'd be starting without much competency in the Aetheric arts yourself, if you wanted to assume you already had some experience in that field that open up the location you could take a look at.
Apakulla (sp?) Falls in Gridania would be an interesting choice, it is where Arcanists who attain the rank of Summoner speak with their teacher to begin the rituals required to call forth the EGIs' that they use. (Perhaps a place to lurk in search of some one eye catching.)
Hmm, food for thought I suppose. Did you have any magic you wanted to focus on first or any idea of what kind of person you wanted to learn from? (the Bookish researcher, the practical application user, the restless delver?)
