Most high-fantasy: "The castle has floating candles that burn with a ghostly white flame!"

My high-fantasy: "You're on the 68th floor of a high-class hotel inside a 5-star restaurant. An awakened bear chef slides a plate of sliced ginger salmon in front of you."

I guess I'm just really wary about mundane medieval worlds with fantastical uses of magic.

Give me high magic worlds with no hunger and flying barges that ferry people around the world at no cost. Monsters are as rare as an eclipse and are taken to demiplanes instead of killed.

Castles have self repairing walls not for defense but to preserve the legacy of the houses that built them, as walls are pointless against magical translocation.

How many stories DIE if we leave the rivers and seas alone forever? Invest in decanters of endless water.

A gunslinger? Why? Use a Magic Caster and load up a few shells of Fireball and Lightning bolt. Horses? Those things kept in nature preserves? We have transportation automatons, they're just as cheap since they NEVER BREAK.

Here's a hammer that builds houses - bye homlessness

5 Wizards got together and spent 8 years making a book that when you touch it gives you a college education. Now there are hundreds of thousands of wizards traveling around the world offering such books to anyone over the age of 10 - they pass by every few days.

just - idk man. If we're going high-magic why pump the breaks on things that improve the world. A high magic world would escape medieval trappings in YEARS, not centuries or millennia. Look at how far we came after the TRANSISTOR was invented in 1943 -

77 years and an 1,800 pound computer now fits inside a house key.

Most high-fantasy worlds are built with a billion reasons why such marvels HAVENT' or DON'T happen - but I just can't swallow that pill.

Give me Magic Star Trek or give me low-magic. #personalPreference
