      wizards who become obsessed with the natural mysteries of black powder

      The funny thing is, this makes perfect sense in-universe. The material components for the fireball spell are literally the ingredients for black powder. A wink-and-a-nudge reference for knowledgeable players becomes a valid connection between magic and technology in the lore, which is neat.

        Dude I love the game setting so much. The region where firearms begin being developed is one where a wizard king and a rival necromancer dropped magical spell nukes that destabilized all magic across the landscape

        So local wizards turn to firearms or finding obscure and inadvisable ways to mess with destabilized magic
