[quote=@Muttonhawk] Bromance C: I highly doubt that any deep understanding of magic will come in until the sentients actually develop the roles of scholars. For now I would imagine it being restricted to the odd ritual or shamanistic witch doctor. [/quote] All it takes is one god spending a Free Point to give a species (or ten) access to magic. Or just create a species that inherently has magic. Is there some sort of Geneva Convention where we all agree not to let the mortals learn how to become a bunch of little Gandalfs? Has Vestec signed this pact? :lol
