Having problems with message search?
I sometimes get cautious when people start discussing RPG magic using real world models. Intellectually I have no problem with that and hey, the real world models provide an excellent framework. At the same time I'm reminded of the flap that happened when Bonewit's wrote a D&D magic book (authentic thaumaturge or some such). The fact the founding ADF druid had also written the book "Real Magic" suddenly made it look like RPG's were being used as a recruiting ground for the I.S.C.
Still, fun tangent, though it should probably step off list from this point (unless others consider it to have developmental value).

Don Kraig would probably ask you to spell his name right.

I'd look around on the web for a more modern idea of how traditional
grimoiric magic is being combined with technology to great effect. I'd
start with Jake Stratton-Kent, Aaron Leitch and some cat who goes by
the handle of Moloch 969... interesting stuff, especially when they
start navel-gazing and trying to explain how it works.
But we're talking about a game of a different stripe, no? ;)
