What should a spellcaster look like?

We always think about this in terms of preconceived notions that belong to us, so people who seem to us to have supernatural powers are usually like this:

They are high up, chanting incantations, easily accomplishing things that ordinary people can't do, they are admired by ordinary people, feared by ordinary people, and have a transcendent status, and in many cases, there is a villain organization called "Holy See" in a book to create, and the whole society belonging to the transcendent is in turmoil, and there are huge crises and opportunities.

To a large extent, this is the result of both the reader and the author.

In order to make the protagonist gain a transcendent status, what about setting up social turmoil that no one else can achieve in a lifetime? This can give him all kinds of opportunities! In order to make the villain look more powerful and bring out the protagonist's ability, how about setting up a god and Holy See? There is a cross religion as a template! And it is so easy to write, and there can be content in the end.

Then the series came out, and the earliest author was the first person to be admired.

Later, in the works involving wizards, mages, and magicians, the reason why people were on the bar with the "God of Light" was that the long black history of the Holy See also played a great role.

After that, there will be more or less the shadow of imitation, after all, it will be relatively easy to imitate the successful, and his ideas will have a great reference effect on the latecomers, for example, the Wizard O Brigade, one of my favorite wizard flow novels, if it weren't for the back too water, I swear I would chase it to the end, there is no doubt that its author is very successful, and his achievements may not be reached in my life.

The author has succeeded, and later people will naturally try to imitate it when they see its success, don't you see that there are so many wizards fighting all over the world and fighting in other worlds?

Readers want to see a legend, and the author gives them a legend.

In all kinds of fantasy novels, most of the protagonists are in a turbulent era, they quickly build up their strength/power, and finally snowball to build a dynasty/era/force belonging to the transcendent, and they are remembered by everyone and become the legend that readers want to see.

But we seem to have forgotten to think about the question: Peeling back the series of halos on the transcendents, what should they be like as a society in peacetime?

Suppose there is such a bizarre society, first of all, the society must be stable enough, at least it can be maintained stably, then the contradictions between the various classes must be reduced, it also needs enough security, in order to make the soil for development fertile enough, then this government must have enough strength to protect the safety of citizens, and then all kinds of legendary races that were originally only active in myths and stories, all kinds of literature and animation are mixed together, what will it become?

It's a question worth pondering.

The result of my reflection is that it must have similarities with US imperialism and China in order to be able to manage the country in which this society is located well.

Take the main character's civilization as an example.

Pure socialism will not work, and pure cooking will not work.

It is not the people who adapt to the social system, but the social system that adapts to the people.

Multiracial coexistence means multiracial concepts, differences, contradictions, as well as differences in aesthetics, discrimination brought about by differences in physique, this is not the end of writing the five big words of "multiracial coexistence", there are two solutions, one, the whole race brainwashing, carry out brainwashing education on a large scale, let them forget the original culture, unify their thoughts, two, the ethnic autonomous region, to retain the original culture to the greatest extent, that is, the model we know now, compared to the second method is the mildest, Avaranga also chose the second one.

And extraordinary power also means that the people become difficult to manage, among the countless people who hold power, there are always a few people who think they are the best in the world and are dissatisfied with the status quo, so the electoral system has appeared, most of them will climb up on this road, and those who finally climb to the top are strong enough, as for a large number of social tumors, those people are staying in the [underground world], the dark side trash cans that are established, guarded, and harvested regularly by the government.

As far as Albert knows, the people in the [Underworld] in each place will slowly gather together to form an organization, and then evaporate without a little wave, which is the result of the government's regular harvest.

It's like planting rice, the farmer [the government] sprinkles the seeds [organizational structure], the rice [scum scum, social garbage] is ripe, the expected quantity is reached [the number reaches the expected standard], the harvest time is time [the net] is closed, all the rice is cleaned up [you should know what this means], and new seeds are planted.

Those larger organizations, either know something, have always been honest and have not stepped on the red line, or they are simply the government's vest.

In order to manage this huge country well, the national government has used a little unconventional means, and the seemingly clean, harmonious, relaxed and comfortable, leisurely and peaceful life always has a price, after all, this is not a fairy tale, even if it is a fairy tale, there is also a so-called black fairy tale, isn't it.

The path that Albert had taken in his previous life would not work here, the differences between the two sides were too great, and Avaranga had to independently find their own path with the characteristics of civilization and culture, it would be a long process, and they had to find a delicate balance.

In a magical civilization society, the medieval background aside, it is an inevitable result that the magical civilization that is close to or is already a modern society establishes its theoretical system and research system.

Simplifying complex things is also an inevitable consequence.

Then it is very natural for the cultivation to lower the requirements for talent, and the simplification of spell casting, that is, it is justified, and Avaranga has done it.

This civilization can move forward on its own, enter the sea of stars, it can operate normally without anyone, and everything it needs for development should be there, and sometimes, he will suspect that if he really picks up the little red book or something else here, he will become a huge obstacle to the progress of civilization rather than a promoter, and a road that has been taken through here is probably wrong, and he needs to be cautious.

After all, the two sides are really very different.

Can the magic side be the same as the technology side? Of course not.

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China learned from the big brother of the Soviet Union, didn't it still say, "Don't think that everything is good for others, don't accept everything in its entirety, and embark on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics"? Not to mention a different world or a different planet where even the people at the bottom are different? You must know that there has never been any truth in this world that can be used for all generations and in the whole world. Except for the fundamental theorem.

Doing things arbitrarily according to one's own ideas is likely to do bad things with good intentions, and in the end it will bring many bad effects, such as "three days to practice, five days to achieve results, no side effects", basically impossible.

No matter what method, for what purpose, how to execute it, and how to execute it, there will be pros and cons.

Albert thought about spreading advanced ideas after the conditions were met, so that the social form could progress faster, but later gave up.

Maybe going with the flow, he thought, would be best.

The state has finally returned, and writing articles these days is like squeezing toothpaste.

Anyway, that's it, I should be able to pass the tea art exam on Friday, and I still don't understand what the tea master certificate has to do with my major.
