Magician pets 24+ should be research-only until May 1999 patch era
In classic, magicians did not originally receive a pet spell each circle beyond 20. From the evidence I've gathered, I believe they were research-only until spells were finally put on vendors in the late-May 1999 patch:

The spells to remove from vendors would be:

Any staff update on where this is going? Many of us are planning to play mages at launch but if we're going to have a classically unfinished class packaged with launch, that would be very important information.
Also it would be https://wiki.project1999.com/Greater_Summoning:_Air not Greater Summoning Water that would need to be removed from vendors. Water is research only at that level (29), air is vendor based. | ||

good find, this will tone down a notoriously overpowered class for fresh server starts, as the original designers intended.

Found more evidence. Nailed down the late May patch as the date the Magician pet spells were put on vendors:

Very explicit post that 24+ pet spells weren't available from vendors until this May 1999 patch:

Just gonna say this, and I know it will be unpopular. But I think it is asinine to gimp an entire class just to have a timeline be followed for a month or two.
