...Of course, few people ever see the insides of the biggest factories and buildings of the most powerful officials, so who's to say they don't secretly use magic and just forbid it because it both scares the people and keeps them under control?
Edit: Also, I don't think you'd be able to build it on the scale I'm imagining, and for the concept to work we'd need more than like 4-5 people.
The whole point of science is to gain an understanding of things that you don't.
This would work in a medieval setting where people are against science. If you introduce engineers and scientists though, they would quickly try to understand the workings of magic and find new uses for it.
In short, remember Clarke's third law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Okay fine but you do realize if the tech-users use magic AND tech then nobody would bother going straight magic and also the whole concept would just collapse, yes?
