      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 …

      they could straight up create a post-scarcity utopia for the whole world and instead they write by hand with fucking quills and use candles and keep slaves

      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

      's a tough sell to moderns who love their technicalized magic systems, but Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell use the classicist approach: if you call down a lightning bolt, it's because you made friends with the lightning and asked a favor, and now you owe the lightning something

          now we just need a fantasy series that combines this approach to magic with the credit theory of money described by Graeber

          @dduane has a Young Wizards series where that’s more or less how it works: they even have "blank check" spells they can cast in emergencies. They can do almost anything, but you won’t know what it costs until you cast it. But it won’t be cheap.
