To be honest, if magic \'\'isn\'t\'\' something that only a tiny minority can learn (and is extremely useful as well as predictable in its effects), I\'m skeptical that a Masquerade would arise at all. It would be much more likely that magic would be another branch of technology and services, sort of like [[FullMetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist]]. You have to remember that this would be a world where magic (and when you have them, magical creatures) have always existed in obvious and concrete form, and that would be a very different world from our own.

In other words, if this is a world where it\\\'s easier to train a new wizard who can fling around fireballs than to train archers/musketman, or to magically enchant carts to move than to build mechanical engines, you\\\'re probably going to see that technological route taken. I think this is frequently under-used in fantasy.
