Magitek

Enchanted items play a pivotal role in modern civilizations. Common folks rely on enchanted items for day to day life; warming water, providing water, keeping stored food cold, lighting the dark, etc. However, these devices require mana and they rarely sustain themselves unless bought from a powerful enchanter. Mana is usually provided by an Energy Bank within the home which is in turn often filled with the homeowner’s personal reservoir of mana. When someone is incapable of filling their own Bank they can pay the local government to send someone over to do it for them. If the local government is wealthy enough they may also sell magicite.

Magicite powered trains are commonplace transportation that connect urban settlements. Some can even be seen in remote areas where lucrative ventures have been claimed. A few may be seen in the countryside where a generous enchanter made a donation. Large cities often feature auto-carriages; a type of transportation that runs on a magicite engine without the need for a horse. Auto-bikes are a little more rare, often only utilized by specialized occupations such as mail carriers or scouts in the military. Horses and huge flightless birds are the preferred mount of cavalry.

Weaponry has advanced to some degree but most professional fighters are enhancers and armigers that prefer conventional weapons.
