Scientific: (Chemistry/Alchemy, Engineering)
Q1. Are people aware of this magic?

Yes, as fact (Alchemy)

It's known in some nations, especially Thaltaar, but not truly understood outside the nations that have active Universities.

Q2. How integrated into society is this magic?
3. It is reserved for certain milestones and special needs (Alchemy)
4. It is normal only for certain people (nations that have encouraged science/engineering) (Engineering)


Q3. Who can use this magic?
5. Privileged people (rare) (Alchemy) (The “recipes” for making various alchemical concoctions/potions are kept secret and generally are only taught within the Alchemists Guild (or wizards. Anyone can use it, but the process of making it is protected)
6. Almost no one (Engineering) “Well, I took two years of “Clockwork Engineering” at Homeland’s Guild Of Engineering, but there’s not much demand for Clockwork, and of course, the Warforged control the ability to make further Warforged. So, I make Clockwork knick-knacks for a living”

Q4: Is this magic considered acceptable?
1. Yes (Alchemy) (They’re considered weirdos but when you need them…)
3. Yes, in certain places (definitely not in Mage Lord lands)

Q5. Is this magic respected?

1. Yes (Alchemy) Mostly due to Mage Lord/wizard propaganda.

4. Yes, in certain places (Engineering), a Lot of places look at it as “Mucking about with things that probably explode”, but some inventions have made life easier in the cities.

Q6: Is this magic regulated, controlled, or taught?
3. Yes, it is taught. (Alchemy) Generally, the Alchemist Guild certifies Alchemists, and its members keep hold of the recipes needed for Alchemical concoctions (Guild Secrets), and Guild members don’t even share some recipes amongst themselves.. after all if they tell you how to make a potion of flight, you might go into business selling potions of flight, and undercut my business!)

3. Yes, it is taught. (Mostly by Universities in the nations that are embracing science/engineering)

Q7. Is this magic hidden or kept secret?
1. No (Engineering). Kinda hard to hide Warforged, or some of the other inventions that people have come up with. Now, how to BUILD that stuff, probably
4. Yes, to control power (Alchemy) See above. They control who can make it, and anyone who figures out how to do it on their own will likely be inducted into the guild, frozen out by the Guild (only certified Guild Alchemists are allowed in many cities), or in some cases of “dangerous” knowledge, eliminated.
