Wizards, sorcerors, and druids can BE capable of flattening cities. In the US, we don't have to pay our jets or aircraft carriers, we don't need to worry about their loyalty, and they don't get delusions of grandeur (or maybe they wouldn't be delusions) because they're inanimate technology. In the magical society, wizards, druids, and clerics, would expect rewards, they could be loyal or betray, and they could become arrogant.That seems to be a fundamental difference that would lead to very different developments in a magical society from a non-magical one.</blockquote>
