D&D 5E Magic in Eberron vs. D&D 5

[Chocolategravy]

Bro that's just pure philosophy applied to a work of fiction. If I decide Eberron has more magic in my home game, it does, because Eberron is fictional and exists however we say it does and in as many different independent instances as needed.

Eberron's magical wonders require spells significantly less potent than what is available in 5E. It's not philosphy, it's just comparing wizard spell lists and seeing that they're pretty much the same.

Ehh, sure, that seems reasonable, but now we're squarely in the realm of inference because there's now neither rules nor reality to ground this conversation.

It doesn't, they just utilize it better. There is no more technological energy today than 200 years ago, we're just better with it

I guess that's one way to take 'higher level of magic.' If we were discussing Larry Niven's works it'd even make sense to take it that way.

Probably the OP just meant that there were more magic items floating around, not that whatever unlimited source of mojo powers magic (presumably not the positive material plane, anymore) was higher on Eberron.

So, yeah, take it as 'higher level of utilization of magic.'
