    Chaos Retweeted Norasferatu  🦇

    modern fantasy works generally need to explain in some fashion how magicians exist yet everything still sucks a lot. if your explanation is "the magicians are basically dumb assholes" this has consequences you may not have wished forhttps://twitter.com/NoraReed/status/1013272887011115008 …

        Dueling conspiracies fight a shadow war but cooperate to maintain the status quo when necessary (I.e. basic politics)

        that seems to be what @StevenBrust went with for Good Guys, though also possibly one of the conspiracies is a fully owned subsidiary of the other

        I like Stross' approach in the Laundry Files which is basically that the state can't afford to let civilians have magic because they're terrified of the consequences and as such they control it ruthlessly

        yeah, "widespread use of magic is an extinction event, here, let me show you it" is probably the gold standard

        Replying to @chaosprime

        In mine the explanation is that either you’re a magician or you’re not, magicians are rare and getting rarer and nobody knows why, and even if you’re born a magician you probably won’t know it unless another magician finds you and trains you.

        Also the Church knows about magicians and if one gets out of hand, they will have them killed. Oh, and they’re almost all greedy, secretive assholes.

        the existence of even 1 timeturner, anywhere in a cosmology, means that literally nothing is really happening and the entire multiverse has shattered into a trillion trillion time vortices most of which are stuck in loop for eternity.

        "The magicians are dumb assholes" usually comes out in the plot diagetically. :p

        I started a fantasy novel in 2004 in a setting called Almost Europe where the magickal traditions are marginalized by the Church's Paladins; as a double whammy, the Church is also holding onto technology used for mostly fascist purposes because suffering brings one closer to god.

        Oh haha just read the original tweet by sickle person. Funny. Magic as some kind of free unlimited thing is the real dream. Never made sense to me. There’s always a price to pay. Currently reading the Craft Sequence by @maxgladstone - great example “soulstuff” as currency
