[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6910398, member: 4936"] I agree. It also is a good idea of what a traditional 'points of light' style fantasy setting could/would evolve into given time. And it gives tools for imagining certain things, such as...why science? Magic replaces technological progress in most settings. But imagine now...what if magic was involved in this cataclysm? Lingering memories and histories make the public still rather distrustful of it. Perhaps the rise of scientific achievement has brought intellectualism back to the good graces of the people, and with it the idea that magic is simply another natural force to be studied and conquered... ...but dark tales of world-eating voids and monstrous summons creatures rampaging still haunt people's collective memory, giving magic, especially magic practiced by those who are NOT reputed intellectuals, a rather foreboding undertone. The witch hunts may be long over, but magicians are still viewed as inheritors of an incredibly dangerous power. Such that even 'approved' wizards feel a pressure to assist the development of scientific progress and technology when and where they can. [/QUOTE]
