Message: <blockquote data-quote="RUMBLETiGER" data-source="post: 5762126" data-attributes="member: 6674868">Setting aside the world peace concept, and the education debate, I would like to actually address the technology aspect of the OP using D&D options.First off, lets ignore limit-per-day options like Sending and Teleport spells.  These would aid communication and travel, but the daily limits would supply the masses.And so, I would first look to Stronghold Builders Guide, Wondrous Architecture (an alternative application of the Craft Wondrous Items feat), as   @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=98256" target="_blank">kitcik</a>  has already mentioned one. To make any of these requires money, time and the appropriate spells and so would be difficult for one individual to produce, but a guild who specialized in crafting and selling these designs would likely end up both wealthy and powerful. Some useful options include:-Bed of Regeneration: lying on the bed Regenerates missing limbs and heals HP.  With the severed limbs in place, they reattach in 4 rounds.  If growing new ones, they regrow in 2d10+3 rounds, or a max of 2 and a half minutes.-Bed of Wellness: Comes in 3 versions.  Cast's Remove Blindness/Deafness, or Remove Curse or Remove Disease if you lay on it for 18 seconds.-Bier of Life: Stone platform casts Raise Dead on an up to 9 day old corpse if you also place a diamond worth 500gp.-Bier of Resurrection: As Bier of Life, only 90 day of Corpse and the stone slab casts a Resurrection spell.-Cabinet of Stasis: Any creature put inside is in a suspended animation as the Temporal Stasis spell, creature experiences only 1 day of aging for every decade that passes.  Creature can only be removed by someone else, cannot wake self.  Perhaps Craft a Contingency Dimensional Step or something to remove a contained creature after a predetermined trigger.-Chamber of Comfort: tempurature is always a comfy 70 degrees, Fresh air is magically circulated, any fires lit dissipates smoke into the ceiling.  -Chamber of Speed: continuous Haste effect on anyone within room.  Activities take half the time to do.  -Everful Basin: Always has 6 gallons of water.-Everful Larder: Every time it's opened, produces enough food for 5 people.  Close and reopen and get more. (rename Everful Fridge!)-Hall of Speech: Understand all languages spoken within the room.-Invisible Helper: Permanent Unseen Servant within a room.-Cloudgathering Orb, Hurricane's Eye, Orb of Pleasant Breezes: Three different Wondrous Architecture. Produces either nasty precipitation appropriate for the season, hurricane force winds, or pleasant and mild weather within a 2 mile radius.-Platform of Greater Jaunting: a Limitless range Dimensional Door spell, allowing to to teleport anywhere on the same plane, requiring only a reliable description of the destination to arrive successfully.  (one could imagine the usefulness of a series of these!)-Platform of Heal: stepping upon the 10' diameter square casts Heal.  multiple stepping results in endless casting of the spell.-Platform of Levitation: ability to Levitate up or down at a speed of 20', serves as a magical elevator.-Pool of Greater Scrying: Limitless Scrying spell, plus ability to cast spells upon the scryed subject.-Stable of Understanding: A continuous Speak With Animals effect within the room.  -Table of Feasting: a table that produces a Heroes Feast three times a day for up to 12 people.  -Tree of Greater Jaunting: Permanent Tree Stride at any range on the same plane.  (A more classy Platform of Greater Jaunting)And that's just from one book!  Some other technological marvels might include:  -Glowing Orb spell from Spell Compendium produces an at-will controlled permanent glass light bulb.  -Ring Gates from DMG have a 100 mile range and while they have a limit to the amount of objects passed through in a day, speaking through, flashing lights, morse code-like sounds… any method of passing information could be done endlessly across great distances.  I can imagine rooms of Gnome operators communicating telegraph-style messages in information network relay stations.     …I’ll add to this list as I think of more.</blockquote>
