What whoâs birthday is that

No who else were u referring to
no just pointing out the âtooâ part because the latest arcane odyssey quest storyline is also taking place in december 14th
I personally headcanon, that due to their paranoia without actual danger to themselves, that the major sky islands may be closer in technology to the relative date listed (edit: 1850s). This obviously has problems i.e. materials, cost, and initiative. However, I read Mistborn Era 2 and like the aesthetics of magic cowboys. Though, they could have trade routes with the sea islands, with things like sky fruit and other magical flora. I think overall if they establish a trade route that the sky islands would be the most likely to industrialize. Either them or Keraxe (given that theyâre a fairly stable empire that looks to crush others, theyâd be very interested in any new war time tech.)
Edit 2: Also industrialization would actually much more practical and option in the AU as while magic is useful for war, it lacks in actually providing utility or substance for a nation.
magic requires magic ability to use, guns can be used by literally any bloke off the street
So while I admire the concept the way ME (magic energy (edit: removed snarky comment about mana)) is presented in verse edit: would make this impossible. ME acts more of like a simulation of an elementâs most basic properties like water being a liquid and occasionally blue. However if you were to use water magic for growing crops, nothing would happen as the ME carries none of the chemical composition necessary for water to be actually useful.
So even something like an arcanium watering can to be used with water magic wouldnât work because it wouldnât be water. The exception to this is of course Curses. This is probably one of my biggest problems with the AU and its magic system, that being magic is only useful for destruction not utility.
However, if you enter the realm of insane extrapoitative speculation ⌠Given that ME is in fact a type of energy that with certain magics is able to be turned into physical matter (magma, water, metal ect.) then we know that E=mC^2 is in effect. So, if you managed to reverse this turn physical matter into ME you may be able to replicate a Curseâs unique ability to create true matter out of magical energy. This may work because conservation of mass so whatever the mass becomes would have the relative energy of that mass. For example a large trail of ground could be transformed into actual water using water magic energy as the catalyst for this transmutation.
Tl;Dr: transmutation may be possible by reversing the magic energy into matter formula, I hope any of this makes sense.
