Do the standard D&D rules require you to have magic stores on every corner? No. Do they require you to have every item available in every village and hamlet? No. Do they require a magical monoculture where all classes, all items, all spells and all creatures are present in all times, and in all places. Absolutely not. Even within the storylines held up as examples of "low magic" there are cultures where magic is more common or more prevalent: the Noldor in LotR, the elves in Lothlorien, the wizard cults in Hyboria, and the first and second ages of the Sun in the Silmarillion. It depends on who you ask, and where you look, and how carefully. One of my points, throughout this discussion, is to pull back the rather simplified approach that some people take in painting very different and diverse story backgrounds with the same broad brush of "low magic."True enough, but when the server rests in the United States, it's a safe bet that everyone enjoys the equal right to disagree with me if they have access to an internet connection.</blockquote>
