A Lesson on Magic and MiraclesIn this world, technology can be roughly divided into five categories.MiraclesMysteriesMagicSpellsIndustryLeast understoodMirassolBeltrandFarnisAnyone can use itMiracles and Mysteries are mostly used by the clergy of Mirassol.It appears to work through faith, but it doesn't make sense to a non-believer.Miracles work through unknown means.While Mysteries usually follow some sort of pattern.Magic and Spells are favored by the mages of Beltrand.Spellcasters and wizards who study the Mysteries are treated the same way in this land.Such Mystery fanatics...When a theory is developed that can explain a Mystery, we call that "Magic".And when that theory is put into practice to create something usable, we call that a "Spell".As for Industry...However, the use of fire is forbidden due to religious reasons.Farnis' stated goal is to create things that can be used even without magical power.This is the legacy of Mirassol's brother, the God of Blacksmithing.The aim is mechanized industrialization and mass production.The heck is that?But internal combustion engines are not allowed.And neither is black smoke.
