Agreed. Half the reason I am trying to get the guys in orbit to help out Team Eon is because then it would become more of a technology vs magic war which would be very epic. Wizards destroying armed battle droids being deployed by space ships, it's like something strait out of Star Wars.
Weeeeeelll, not quite.
Most of the world is mundane, and roughly equivalent to modern-day society. Most of the magic would be found in the environment, like a magic spring that can heal people, or a magical sword, or a tree that magically keeps the forest alive. Most people don't depend on magic to live, and just thrive on ordinary technology.
It's just the environment is really unstable, so things like people randomly getting swallowed up into portals, or the continents suddenly shifting, aren't that unusual.
There are some creatures that have magic, but most don't. There are wizards among humans, but they're pretty uncommon. In fact, magic doesn't even exist in some parts of the world. It seems that it probably has to do with the amount of magic energy in the environment. There's a higher level of magic in the northern half of the planet. That's the only place where humans or animals capable of channeling magic are found. •u•
... Especially in the places where the animals live, they're more like Neolithic people.
In that case it would be more like "spaceships vs. slingshots." Think of the Ewoks facing the Stormtroopers in Return of the Jedi.
There's also a group of people (the Guardians) who have powers given to them by the Great Dolphin, and they have access to a magical arsenal of weapons that they're supposed to use to protect the continent. But there's only about five or six of them, two for every continent. One thing that might happen is that the god might create new inventions for them to fight with.
There's a reason Malva would target the planet... because she knows they're weak. It would probably be more like Star Wars, in that a team of weaker people managed to defeat an enemy that it seems they are far out-powered by.
The weapons that Graphea have would probably be a lot more primitive, like World War II-era.
Ya might have to help me in that department, because I haven't really thought about that. ^^;
