[quote=@Polybius] Not afraid, just not sure how to do it: A fantasy world where all of the magic is cast using verbal commands. Pretty plain and simple. The source of magic? Ancient nano-technology built into the planet (which is itself artificial) that uses verbal commands. Think an entire world that functions like the Enterprise. The world would be littered with 'ruins' of that same ancient civilization-technology still intact. Doors would open, lights turn on. Hell, you could have armies of nanobots roaming the atmosphere looking for someone to heal with the proper commands. Satellites in orbit could rain down fireballs and death at but a word. A global neural-net of information could be accessed and data transferred, recorded etc. It would really depend on the way the characters and world were written around it. The descriptions from those ignorant characters points of view etc. [/quote] This sounds incredibly interesting but hard to manage, i would love to see an attempt at it though
