The Untapped Limits of Magic
Have you ever noticed that Magic is rarely present in advanced sci-fi stories.
In most fantasy worlds magic is the opposite of science and technology.
Science grows over time while magic declines.
There are few stories that show magic in the modern era but even those don’t show magic growing like science does.
What we forget is that magic is a science too and has the potential to grow in the same way.
Despite all the power that magic has shown, we’ve only seen it at it’s most basic.
Magic appears mostly in medieval fantasy and not in sci fi worlds.
That’s the idea of this article, what would magic look like if it grew like science.
I’ll break this analysis into three main parts; the norm, the reasons for decline and the possible future.
The Normal state of Magic
Generally, magic takes the form of mana and is within everything.
Mages use it to change the world in many crazy ways.
After extensive uses of magic and just natural decay, the age of magic would come to in to make way for science.
