[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6081573, member: 22779"] Well, see this is why, when these threads come up, I always bring up the biological end of things. Sure, magic is going to have an impact, but, it's the flora and fauna that are really going to change things up. I mean, Brown Mold, for example, is just mold. All you have to do is feed it some heat to make it grow. Keep it in a cold cellar and seal it in, and it will keep stuff cold for a long time. You would need some sort of industry to make the "refrigerators" and install and upkeep for them. But, without the need for electricity, we're talking a pretty minimal sort of investment. And, it's certainly no more dangerous than an open fire in your house - something we've had for a couple of thousand years. Sure, there will be accidents and people will freeze to death. Yup. But, then again, houses burn down every day, yet we still live in them. We still have fireplaces and candles. I don't think this would be too much different. One joke idea I remember was Troll in a Can. After all, trolls just continue to regenerate right? Endless food supply. Troll begins regenerating, cut off a slice, cook it and you have an endless meat source. Ok, so that's a bit ridiculous, but, it does illustrate the point. If there is a way you could exploit a resource, you can be pretty much guaranteed that someone, somewhere will start doing so. [/QUOTE]
