Micro SF/F by O. Westin
We finally managed to decipher the engravings on the ancient gold tablets:
"Our Wizards say magic is finite, that it is almost all used up. But they also say they have seen that everything we have done by magic can be done by other means, not yet known.
Then, let us learn."

@MicroSFF It reminds me of this 😊:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Arthur C. Clarke

@Wildduck @MicroSFF of course, then there are the corollaries:
1: any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced
2: any sufficiently primitive magic is indistinguishable from technology

@MicroSFF Use your magic to create more magic silly.

@MicroSFF Antibiotics are kinda magic and might be finite... But I am hoping there are other ways to do what they do...

@MicroSFF Yes, "other means" is how the War Department created the Hanford Site in Washington.
