Maybe using magic doesn't strengthens your magic the way that physical exercise strengthens your muscles, but rather similar to a river carving its way through the landscape -- the more water flows, the deeper the river bed becomes.

Such a mechanism wouldn't require any more genetic information, because it's not a property of the individual magic user.
