Hi everyone, I'm writing a story where magic and magical technology gives people approximately the same level of conveniences as electricity does in the real world. There are four types of magic:
Life magic - anything to do with biology, including healing, agriculture, and genetic modification (they're not aware of the science of genetics, but they're able to breed animals with abilities far beyond normal) Energy magic - things related to basic kinds of energy, including kinetic energy, heat, and sound Materials magic - related to temporarily or permanently altering the physical properties of matter Dimensional magic - related to spatial and temporal dimensions, as well as the "information dimension", which acts as the equivalent of the Internet.
I wanted to ask if people had ideas for what mages' jobs would be in this world, things that are pretty mundane and have a real-world equivalent. For instance, currently I have mages who can work with the time dimension in my story who predict the weather, verify antiques, and investigate crimes. Energy mages can make really good firefighters.
I'm basically interested in how things would be equivalent, but different because of the way magic works compared to our technology. For instance, rather than using refrigerators/freezers to preserve food, this world uses time-boxes that slow down any rot/mold, so food stays preserved without being cold.
