Lots of amateur worldbuilders complain about crystals being used to make the technomagic or sci-fi tech work.
My brothers in creativity, what do you think makes all our modern real-life technology work?
@cerebrate
Yeah, but real world crystal magic look more like individual microscopic pieces of glitter, as opposed to giant glowing quartz crystals.
@nyrath Yeah. But that’s only because we can’t make and etch super-pure semiconductor crystals well enough to make a bazillion-core massively-parallel processor block.
But in THE FUTURE, with SCIENCE! and ENGINEERING!
(Still not quartz, though.)
a Schelling point for those who seek one
