I think lasers are pretty wack when you think about them through this lens. A small, wand-like object in your hand can make light appear from seemingly nowhere. If it’s powerful enough it can set things on fire or blind people. Not to mention larger ones like laser cutters or the LLD, used to destroy missiles midflight. Thats sure to blow some feudal peasant minds

    I mean, any lcd screen. It’s a magical flat surface that can display any image. Add a battery and now it’s completely untethered and silent.

      Yeah, so by extension a mobile phone.

      Capture people inside your device and conjure them at any time.

      If you’d never seen technology this would absolutely seem magical.
