Magic: Ether/Technomancy
Ether/Technomancy
Ether magic is not really magic at all, but simply the manipulation of billions of tiny nanomachines that do the will of the user through various programming. Ether magic requires special circumstances due to the electronic and not biological or spiritual nature of the magic, but its users are able to emulate the real magic of the universe to such stunning magnitudes that the two are impossible to tell apart.
True irony strikes with this school of magic, which is literally the magic of science and technology. Technomancy deals intimately with the electronic nature of the modern world and allow a caster to wield modern society itself as a weapon against itself. Just as a Druid is at home in a forest, a Technomage is at home in a busy city street surrounded by cell phones, computer-assisted automobiles, Internet cafes, and corporate servers and supercomputers.
