[Reno of the Turks]
Idiot.
[/Reno]
[Some pen taps as Yuan composes what he wants to say]
Any of you from worlds that are based in technology: do you have a word besides "magic" for energy manipulation based in ritual and patterns? If it even exists in your world, have you simply studied and analyzed it to the point where you're calling it something else now?
And those of you with worlds that have more magic than tech: Has anyone ever tried to study your world's magic rigorously, to define where it comes from and what makes it work? To use that potential power source in innovative ways? If so, what were the results? If not, why not?
Surely mine can't be the only world where magic and science are not considered to be completely separate concepts.
Idiot.
