[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8090382, member: 7015698"] The word 'electricity' comes from the Greek word for amber, which the Greeks would use to produce static sparks by rubbing it on surfaces. Considering a fantasy world has tons of fantasy material, its possible a material exists that produces more potent sparks. and technology doesn't always spread wide without proper communication method, or without someone clever enough to come up with a use for it.

As for the 4e Swordmage, it was an Arcane Defender that married weapon and magic in the same action.
