Re: Science fiction technology and magic
(Anonymous) 2021-11-30 04:59 am (UTC)(link)-I like a lot of the Star Trek stuff, especially transporters, replicators, and holodecks.
-I like the idea of magic that really increases convenience in everyday life - teleportation spells, packing spells, the laundry folding itself, etc. But I also like the really bizarrely specific magic, like, I don't know, a potion that can make something grow from seed to bush in three minutes, but it only works on mulberry and yucca.
Re: Science fiction technology and magic
Yes, thank you! I forgot about this as a genre thing. I always liked the idea of Xanth "talents" better than the actual books, largely for this reason. People basically get one innate magic power, often highly specific and/or generally useless.
This whole thread is actually helping me remember the things I do sometimes like about fantasy.
