Is true! 😂
It’s not so different from the social upheaval the introduction of firearms caused, just more potent. In the case of firearms, all they really killed was the chivalric ideal and eventually most monarchies, as the dumbest, least trained peasant was now able to kill highly trained and well equipped knights with ease. Democratisation of power didn’t materialise in any way that mattered despite this, the aristocrats of yesteryear simply gave way to the financiers and bankers of modern times, power ultimately rests with them rather than the electorate as we’re lead to believe. Power over others stems from control over resources, as such whoever holds the power to enforce their claim over resources ends up in charge, in this case, it’s the magic of friendship that grants power over the land and all those who live in it, not simply magic itself. Rogue alicorns, chaos spirits, edgy crickets, rock obsessed smoke, magic absorbing centaurs and even the chad cast itself all learned that the hard way.
Would magic be democratizing or would it only exacerbate the tendency of of the social formations to concentrate ‘power’ and wealth in possession of the few, such as in a monarchy?
