[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7878434, member: 6704184"] Love the point about the Internet, especially. This is full of great thoughts for the future of the world for sure! The setting actually assumes that in the semi-distant future, magitech has outpaced any projections of where tech would be, so that in 2230, there are space colonies, starships, orbital cities, etc. “We can’t get out. They are coming!” 😂 I’ll pick that up sometime and check it out! is it a matter of education, or is perception simply more powerful than intellectual knowledge? You can feel the cold like a force when you open a door in winter. It manifests as wind and snow and ice. So, I don’t think it is so easily changed, but also a premise is that cold is a “force” in our lives, and thus a force in the magic of the universe, but that isn’t just “us” as in mortal people, it’s also the gods, primordial dragons, etc. The idea of cold is a fundamental “thought” at the start of the universe. Also, anyone who grows up around magic will know cold to be a type of magic, and thus contribute to the idea of cold as a type of magic. Great questions! And the answers will probably vary from place to place, and change over time. [/QUOTE]
