remembering a comment from @starfall a couple days ago about computer witchcraft and had a doubtless-unoriginal thought:

do we live in a high-magic setting where the magic is electricity?

- 🎒 💭

@packbat @starfall Yes... and what does it mean that we have magical artifacts that make artifacts that make artifacts?

@ElectricKeet I don't know, but our high fantasy stories could definitely step up their game

@packbat The Eberron setting tries to do this with D&D, and our group includes two socialist-as-heck artificers who are open-sourcing all their magical learning about that world's equivalent to droid repair and cybernetics. One of them has the explicit goal of destroying the assholes who secured a monopoly on tech manufacture and built war toys... including said artificer!

Also one of our NPC's invented the cameraphone.
