[quote=@TolkienBlackGuy] Yo, this sounds legit! I'd be down! Maybe: 1.) A Sheriff's badge is--upon closer inspection--etched with runes that protect him or her from basic, low-level spells (scrying, fire, and maybe offers bullet deflection?) 2.) Maybe there are specific rangers for specific situations? Magic, monsters and so forth. Either way, I'd be down for something like this! I have an enchanted cowboy sitting around somewhere I'd like to give a whirl if I'm chosen! [/quote] 1) That's a good idea, but perhaps magic is able to be practiced under permit? I would deduce that not all magic is used for fighting. Since the invention of the steam locomotive it maybe useful in steam technology or to transmit morse code. It could also be used for practical applications as well on the homefront. I'm thinking that magic can complement technologies that were invented around this time period. 2) Perhaps, plus there will be racial advantages and disadvantages as well.
