This is why in many ways I prefer the RP in the SBForums. People can't just suddenly introduce 500+ things that trivialize everything that came before and everything that will come after, at least until the next level-up in ridiculous sudden threat appears. It's like a long-running anime: All the heroes are pretty powerful now, some to the point of godhood, so for some reason people decide the only way to present a challenge is to keep throwing even godlier things at them, at which point they get stronger and the whole process repeats...

Magic that suddenly causes everything to go wrong immedietly and just as suddenly fix it all is not kosher. It disrupts plans other people have, it causes chaos when people are trying to RP nicely, and it just causes unnessessary strife. I mean... IF YOU were living on this planet and every two and three eighth minutes a threat 10x as powerful as the last appeared and disappeared, would you stick around? I wouldn't.

WHAT CAN MAGIC DO THAT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CANNOT? "What can magic do that advanced technology cannot?" I'm going to assume that was a rhetorical question but I'll answer it anyway: A whole lot. Infinitely lot. Like, everything. That's the point of magic: it does things technology can't. The problem we have is that our "technology" is magic for all intents and purposes. It does things that real technology could never do. As such, what's the harm in magic? If our technology does the impossible, then for what logical reason can something else that does the impossible, which may itself be a science that isn't fully understood in this universe, not exist? The only issue here is that we don't have rules here; for tech or magic. As a result, many conflicting tech levels and magic systems exist together in some weird mishmash that means that some things are wildly overpowered and some are wildly underpowered.
