[b]Rise of the magitech![/b]

While most were happy and content with the gift of affinity, some were of the mind that it was not enough to tame this savage world. Magitech began when an brilliant dwarf married an brilliant elf and they combined their minds to bring magic to common folk. Results were masterful weapons and armor created by the dwarf powered by magic imbued stones made with elves affinity by blending stone and sun essence
These arms and armor functioned exactly as enchanted by an caster but they could be worn by anyone. The process of production was however time consuming and difficult. Even after sharing their methods no one could make large enough of an production to arm entire armies this way so they remained expensive possessions. Some also disliked how they lacked the flexibility of an real caster who could conjure his essence in many ways while magitech only did one set thing. However. Seeing folding, steaming greatswords that never lost their edge or flame, even some affinity born were jealous of the technology that had taken its first steps in Sophitia. Even arcane knights know an useful tool when they see one, as magitech has the added value of not draining its power from the caster itself.
