Um there's no techno to this mage (kinda the point) although there is a sci-fi setting (also kinda the point) as for the governing of magic...I actually wanted to do that to make it seem more commonplace and to take the "Mystery" out of it. This was because I needed it to be accepted by the common populace as something that just is. I intend to create whole worlds where magic is so commonplace that it has replaced technology as the catalyst for the planet's social and economic evolution. The only downside is that the manufacturing industry would primarily create and distribute magical items...sounds great right? No need for batteries for sure but then when you start thinking in weapons manufacturing it becomes problematic because inevitably players want those items. Controlling the flow of magic becomes more of a matter of controlling how powerful the magic in question is. I digress, there is a technomancer coming...in my next image.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing looking alright. Character, clothes, props, set, lighting all look excellent and come together well. I like the techno-mage theme. Interesting description as well. Really made this whole thing bounce around in my head a while considering meanings. Don't terribly like the idea of magic being just another homogenized commodity controlled by the ivy league but certainly an interesting concept.

Great Picture & Excellent Scenery!
