how would you recommend I make this feel like a more magical culture?

[QUOTE="Baron Opal II, post: 8773848, member: 6794067"] How easy or plentiful is magic to them? Think about daily life of the common folk. Do they have ovens and stoves that burn wood or coal, or is there a basalt or granite stone cut to exact dimensions that they cause to heat with a wave of their hand? Is there a central well or fountain? Do they use a bucket to get the water, or does the nereid of the well take your earthenware ewer and fill it for you? Do all the adults have a connection to the Grand Wordsmith, so that when they speak a key phrase, all adults hear the Wordsmith's words until their next breath? Providing shelter, growing food, sourcing water, and making cloth* were the activities that consumed the majority of peoples time. If they pursued a trade, it allowed them to make money so that they didn't have to do some of those activities. How did they make their day-to-day lives easier? And, are these spells they cast, magically receptive objects that work with cantrips rather than higher level spells, or functionally magic items that are handed down to the household's next generation? * Which takes an amazing amount of time, I've recently discovered. One reason that you see so many pictures of women and girls spinning thread or weaving is that such activities were what they did mostly when they weren't bringing the harvest in. [/QUOTE]
