[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9553888, member: 7024481"] wishes are iffy at best so wishing things to existance isn't going to work reliably. Assuming a bell curve for whatever it is that required to be able to cast 9th level spells, int, raw talent etc. Your going to get way less than 1 percent of the population able to even cast 7th level spells even if we send everyone to school. Remember coders were going to fix the economy..LOL. I don't see billionaires trying to solve all of societies problems, so I find it unlikely that the super smart "rich kid" "powerful" mages are going to jump in and start turning into wish bots for the masses let alone waste all thier high level magic for everyone else who doesn't have it. I do agree you'd see some magical technology but I suspect if you read the book "Operation Chaos" by Poul Anderson it would be far more like that. If you like that he did a sequel called "operation Luna" later. Operation Chaos takes place in an alternate earth where magic has always existed during thier version of WWII. Lots of cool technology and magic and still the same old problems we have. The most likely outcome. Though Wall of Iron spells would be a straight ticket to a quick payday. [/QUOTE]
