#Fantasy Magic is right there in your fucking pocket and somehow we've forgotten that

We Made Magic and then Went That Doesn’t Count as Magic.

All modern tech is just about magic, the only reason we think it isn’t is because we are so used to it. Computers are literally symbols carved into a specially treated mineral and then lined with expensive and rare minerals such as gold, silver, and copper bound together by melted lead. This rune tablet then has harnessed lightning, fire, wind, light, or water that is kept in a specially prepared mineral sack run through it and it somehow produces a thinking mineral trapped within that arcane rune. If it’s damaged the rune likely ceases to work until it is repaired properly. We’ve all but got blood from a stone at this point because we’ve tricked minerals into thinking and processing information for us. And it works faster than a human can, intaking and processing information in the instance it would take us to understand what we wanted our hand to do. Then we combine these rune minds with plates of thousands of specially prepared crystals and use them to let the rune mind show us what it’s thinking and to allow non-mages to utilize the rune mind more easily.  If you had to explain to anyone how a phone worked it would sound insane. We created thinking rocks and pumped them full of harnessed elements then chained them to a different rock (usually lithium for modern electronics) and then combined those rocks with specially made crystals so they could show us what they’re thinking.
