That's understandable. In fact, magecraft is much weaker in my world than it once was for precisely that reason. "Mystery," as a concept, makes a phenomenon stronger. As humans make technological progress, less and less of the unexplained remains, and the power of the supernatural dwindles.

That's why magi take such pains to remain hidden. I'm sure if my father knew I was talking about this with you, he'd be furious.
