Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?

In dungeons and dragons there is a type of hybrid character you can play called an Artificer who treats magic more like technology, anf there are a ton of examples in popular media that others have mentioned. I do think you have to determine how and if you’ll keep them distinct if that’s important to your plot, but if they developed alongside eachother maybe the technology of that world relies on magic to work.

Or maybe your magoc relies on elder gods that don’t like the mortal hubris of critiquing the gods works so attempts to unravel magic gets you cursed or worse.

I think they can go together and the way you fit them can even become a plot point!
