I saw someone trying to make Gortash replicate cell phones. That’s cool, but forgotten realms already has sending spells for instant communication.

If I had his little artificer self at my disposal I would be demanding twelve ferrous magnets placed in two rows of six with opposing magnetism and then all wrapped in fine copper wire a thousand times or so. I will need two of these. And then six nickel-wound strings in varying diameters, plus access to tools to fabricate wood and metal. I’ll need at least 12 fret tangs inset a variable width 24.75 inch length of wood preferably maple.

And then fun fact speaker technology hasn’t changed since the 1920s or so when we kicked gramophones to the curb, so unless you’re using magic for your steel watchers I’ll assume you’re using the basic electrodynamic speaker specs for their voices, so this part oughtn’t be difficult at all, I’ll need another ferrous magnet and a bit more copper wire, plus your tightest-woven thinnest fabric, and a broad ring of either rubber or paper, all inset into a solid frame, and then I’ll need insulated wire to run from the pickups to the speakers.

Basically I’m saying I want an electric guitar. If I could bring any technology to a fantasy world, I would choose to bring music every time. Because it’s what I love most.

And yeah, in my silly little secret fic, my character does just that :)
