Which is probably why I have a soft spot both for the "lost technologies" scifi trope, and fantasy universes where magic is studied just like any other science

As a wizard, I agree to this.

Never trust any spell except the most simple and basic ones.

So, you're a warlock without the background story?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

So in this case could a segment fault create a black hole?

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 4 points 6 months ago

I like this idea.

Jack Vance, Dying Earth series has similar ideas.
