The wealthy absolutely would want a monopoly on that if they could do so. Mind you, that sort of thing never ends well and after the Great Burning it could have been rescinded.This makes sense. Given how this is turning out, there are likely to be spells that don't normally exist in other settings because of the sheer amount of magitech available. I could see something like the Creation Forges being developed too, which led to the collapse of manufacturing in the Darco District akin to the various steel mill closures in the US or the way the Industrial Revolution caused many independent artists to struggle since the mass-manufacturing of goods was faster and led to cheaper goods (prices the indies couldn't match if they wanted to make rent and eat).I mean, if there aren't dirigibles what would even be the point? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> But, certainly, there could be some type of air services. There's historic precedence for a lot of <a href="https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/flying-machine-designs-e-morieu.jpg" target="_blank">interesting designs</a> that might not have worked in RL but could do so on a fantasy world. I do think that busses and trolleys are likely much more common and there would probably be some form of ground-based cab business. There's definitely a subway system and elevated (El) trains.</blockquote>
