Where are the other races?See #15. How do people deal with highly magical monsters in a low-magic world, especially if there are lots of the monsters?They are very, very feared.  The stuff of nightmares to keep kiddies in bed at night.  Perhaps the average person has never really seen an orc, hobgoblin, etc., let alone a demon, dragon, etc..  Perhaps the monsters know this and use it to their advantage by mostly staying 'below radar.'6. How does the lowered magic level affect the political situation? Are casters feared, shunned, or prized? Are wizards treated differently than priests? Do priests, wizards or druids have any pull in society? Priest would probably be the most legitimate and influential, as they can claim spiritual authority.  It would be likely that other casters were formally shunned, though perhaps they are highly sought after by those in the upper circles of society.  The average person sees magic, outside of their diety, as witchery and black magic.7. When someone does discover a potent magic item or an unknown spell, how do people react to them? Fear, envy, etc? Are there black markets for magic items? If so, how do they get their supply? Those within that casting community would definately be envious, though their reactions would be determined by relationships/alignments of those involved.  Sure, there could be a 'black market' for such items.  It would be very secretive, very centralized, and perhaps only available to those in a certain guild, family, organization, etc..  Perhaps they get their items by assignment from those looking to buy, and/or there is a measure of reflexivity to the relationship;  i.e.:  you cannot 'buy' only trade, or for every item bought, one must be sold back in the immediate future.</blockquote>
