Take your time. Dwarves have inventions such as cannons, flintlock pistols, blunderbuss, and have steam and clockwork machinery. Recently, they have just developed a prototype for a golem.

A link is a good idea. I will put that in right now.

Magic is indeed rare among the citizens of the various kingdoms and often requires years of practice before you can cast anything more than a simple fire ball. People who are dedicated mages often start training when they are children so they can properly use magic by the time they are adults. Those thought to be gifted with magic are often sent to Voy to learn at their academy if they wish to join the candidates for Ascension Day.
