[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9238106, member: 6796468"] [B]1) Very magical.[/B] This is a High Fantasy Wild West concept. There's going to be magic schools where people study to become warcasters, wizards, and the like. Eldritch Horrors and Fiends trading power for pieces of one's soul. Where [I]Comprehend Languages [/I]and[I] Tongues [/I]allowed the first explorers and settlers to communicate flawlessly with the indigenous peoples to avoid warfare and imperial conquest through friendly negotiations. There will be magical armors and weapons, rituals in the woodlands, and ghost riders in the sky. [B]2) As much as one wishes to.[/B] Fireball scrolls being repackaged as bullets that can be fired from a mystic focus gun. A Bard amplifying a six string acoustic guitar so everyone in town can hear her twanging away. A Stage Coach line to Hell that has nightmares in place of a horse team. [I]Continual Flame[/I] spells in lanterns and on candelabras in a wealthy oil tycoon's mansion. People launching fireworks and fireballs into the sky for big festivals and celebrations. [B]3) A Bit of Both.[/B] Steam engines is the basis, with heavy coal mining in the Acadian range in the east to fuel the hungry furnaces. But the Shadow Dragon is ever on the lookout for innovations that put more money into his hoard. So there'll be efforts toward binding fire elementals into fuel-boxes and boilers to power trains, or storm elementals to make maglev trains. But I'm also kind of planning to have a special inobtanium type magical material that burns very hot and very long as a way to make a traditional steam train run in a very efficient manner. Y'know, to fuel a war between nations over however much of the stuff exists and the places it can be mined/gathered. Because even if the Railroad Robber Baron successfully gets fire-elemental trains or maglev lightning rails, there will still be old steam engines that can do the job with this stuff in the fuel-box until they break down beyond repair. And why let them go to rust and waste precious resources? Run them ragged and replace them with the new stuff when they finally break down. [/QUOTE]
