Depends how prevalent magic is, but I agree.

My thoughts always come down to inventions. If magic is ubiquitous, things like ... lighters wouldn't have been invented. Matches, even. Why would they?

I'm okay with it being only slightly different if it's present in the world, but only learned by a minority, whether it's because of blood or natural talent (HP/SoM), opportunity/secrecy (RoL), money (TNOTW) or whatever, but it would still probably change the face of invention unless it was extremely uncommon.

I've had a half-formed idea for a few years now, where magic is openly known, but only for maybe 200 years or so, and there was a Hidden World setup for a time. Lately I've been thinking things changed around the Age of Revolution and or Exploration, with various young mages deciding this New World means new rules, and are no longer hiding what they can do.

I suspect this would require A Lot of research into history, since obviously there's gonna be some alternate history going on. Still fun to think about.
