I love Laios, I really do, but he’s the last person to be giving a lecture like that. At least according to his trajectory as a character. He’s not invested in the politics of the world and hasn’t done the level of research Marcille has. It just feels off.
I hate fiction where magic is considered too dangerous to solve systemic problems. Like it’s an antagonistic force in the world that’s only good for warfare. It’s a natural force in most settings, making the mistrust seem so strange.
Like in this setting, the mad mage made mistakes, but they want to throw it all out.
What about fiction where magic doesn’t solve systemic problems because it’s part of the world and affected by the same systemic problems? Looking at you, Ursula.
