Spell-tech
Spell-tech is any technomagical equipment or device.
History
Commonly seen Spell-tech
- Amulets
- For those with the money can probably get any type of amulet in a spell-tech form. The most commonly seen in Metamor City are anti-Curse amulets that can be implanted under the skin for those who can afford them (usually only the wealthier, uncursed, human noble families or business leaders will have them).
- Nanopixies (aka NPs, nips)
- A whimsical name given to the microbe-sized creatures that sometimes transmit magical diseases. Nanopixies are also used in biotech to effect alterations to a person's body at the cellular level, since they are often more precise than a macro-scale spell and the changes can be more carefully fine-tuned (e.g., "eliminate all cancer cells" or "make the following alterations to the genetic sequence in hepatic cells only").
- Napsack
- A small, magically shielded container used for transporting nanopixies (see below) without risk of accidental release or contamination of the "product". Generally includes a spelljack port to allow for programming the NPs and a special syringe for dispensing them.
- Skimmers & Swoops
- The automobiles and motorcycles of Metamor.
- Skyships
- The zeppelin-like transportation method for the Metamor Empire.
- Spelljack
- A technomagical user interface for the WorldNet or another computer network
- Spellware
- Software designed for a technomagical device or interface
- WorldNet
- The worldwide computer network, first developed by Majestic Industries with the backing of Metamor and several other large nations. Its most distinguishing feature is its capacity for carrying shared virtual reality (VR) environments that provide full sensory immersion, thanks to a creative blending of magic and technology.
