My idea was more that there is the change of the industrial revolution bringing in various different things, and so people are beginning to turn away from magic as a source of power, and so the magical people are losing income and becoming part of the lower classes. Other dynamics could be added and things could be adjusted if you wanted, but it was more of a general idea. The steam punk could be avoided if we sorted out the "world" before we began.

I'm sorry about the delay, I had to deal with midterms.

So the general idea is that with the technological advances, magic is becoming outdated? I think no matter when this is set, that is a pretty interesting idea to tackle. However this trope is one I'm wondering how we avoid: magically gifted people being used by the government for war. That's usually something that people like to exploit and I'm not one of them. But if we are mixing magic and history, I'm wondering which will have a heavier influence in the RP itself.
