"To leave it behind entirely." Is Goro's blunt reply. "Magic is unpredictable, volatile, and a power only available to a select few. Technology is reliable, controllable. It can do everything magic is capable of, but requires no inherent talent, no special blood to be used. There can be no magic-wielding elites lording their power over others when machines are available to all that can replicate sorcery, without sorcery's inherent dangers or more...corrosive aspects." A small force of mages versus an army trained, equipped, and ready for war? He wouldn't bet on the mages, that's for sure. No wonder they were desperate enough to attempt the Eifstide ploy. What other chance did they have, otherwise?
