Tech & Magic

The manipulation of Arcane Myst represents the direct harnessing of the fundamental forces that govern reality. This practice, historically the exclusive domain of a select few practitioners known as Mages and Subcasters, allows for the alteration of physical and metaphysical states through focused intent and biological aptitude.   Mystech, conversely, is the applied science of integrating these arcane energies into tangible technological systems. This paradigm represents the democratization of Myst, engineering its power into devices, infrastructure, and weaponry accessible to the general populace. Through Mystech, the extraordinary capabilities once limited to casters are now foundational to modern Anogwin society, driving innovation across all sectors from domestic convenience to military ordnance.

//>_ Hacker_Override_Initiated... Karckess on the real power grid. //>_ 'Harnessing fundamental forces' means a Slinger can turn you into a puddle of goo with a thought. 'Democratization of Myst' means a Normie with enough creds can buy a gun that shoots lightning bolts. Don't let the fancy words fool you. This is about power. //>_ Here's the truth the Corp-Rats won't print: the Myst-Slingers are arrogant trogs who think they're gods just because they can bend reality. Mystech is the only thing that keeps them in check. It lets the rest of us fight back. A single Slinger is worth ten soldiers with Mystech rifles, easy. They don't need to reload; they don't need a power cell. But there's a hell of a lot more of us than there are of them. It's the oldest story in this rotten world: the few with real power versus the many with just enough to be dangerous. An arms race with souls on one side and batteries on the other.
