Spellcaster's Journal

I just want to ask, whether in the real world or the magical world, if industry wants to develop, can it do without the kind of scholars represented by mages? The comparison in the introduction is like saying that it takes decades to train a doctor, but only one year to build a nuclear bomb. It's really funny.

Isn't productivity what a mage is really useful for? Why do everyone like to watch fireballs, fireballs, and meteor showers so much? Isn't the real strength of mages not the promotion of automated production by golem technology, the strong artificial intelligence created by tower spirit technology, the promotion of super-high-speed transportation by space spells, the extension of life span by time spells, the cultivation and improvement of necromancy and life spells, and the transformation of animals? Creation, various absolute environments for the creation of conceptual spells (such as absolute zero gravity, absolute zero, absolute vacuum), ecological transformation through environmental spells, high-speed and effective communication assisted by psychic spells, and other examples such as rebirth of severed limbs, situation retrospection, book retrieval, and high-synchronous work are all better than using destructive power to measure a mage's ability.

There is a problem with the introduction. Is there a conflict between magic and industry? In a world with magic, the development of industry is definitely inseparable from magic.

The stupid people in this world are nothing more than losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame. It is obvious that magic has been studied to that extent, and it is obvious that it can take less time to cross the races that rely on the planet and advance to the interstellar era, but they have to retreat to the next best thing to engage in industry. Obviously we can directly control antimatter and dark matter, but we have to deal with steam or something.

Put it together. The magician stands at an altitude of 30,000 meters and uses meteorites to fall from the sky.

My setting for this world is a world where steampunk is the mainstream. Spells will exist as a supplement to technology. The main reason is that there are no cheap spell energy storage devices in this world, and coal and subsequent oil are ubiquitous in this world. Because they are cheap, steam power using coal as raw material is the mainstream in this world. However, aircraft powered by spell crystals and magic gathering arrays will also appear in the future. The only disadvantage is that they are expensive. In addition, a friend said that teachers generally represent knowledge and productivity, but knowledge can also be mastered by ordinary people, and everyone can take the road to heaven. The Master is not more noble than the best among ordinary people. On the contrary, ordinary people who do not have magic to rely on need a technology tree that suits them more.

From the reader's perspective, tens of thousands of gold coins can be used to build an airship, which is acceptable. But saying that even a demigod can't fly as high as he does, I think this is a bit of a curse in the introduction. I feel that in general terms, high-level spellcasters are pretty much the same 😰. Otherwise, it would be a fool's errand. Demigods would just plow the ground, and no one would be able to play.

I haven't read it yet, but let me ask, don't all people with high intelligence become mages? How to let smart people climb the technology tree with the protagonist? Doesn't it take intelligence to become a mage in this world?

Many works combine magic and technology, why are they always separated?

Referring to those ideas written about nuclear-powered battleships, magic assists in the production and control of tools. Magic is the force exerted, the tools are levers, and the scientific method is the fulcrum, leveraging the universe.
