GUEST POST from my co-worker, The Singing Librarian:
Magic is just science we don’t understand, yet. (Arthur C. Clarke)
Imagine that the medieval world studied Earth’s magic instead of hunting witches.
…That magic and science never separated into alchemy and chemistry.
…That the 1870’s is a world of whirring machines powered by thaumaturgical etheretic particles.

So, is it Earth gone right? Or someplace Other? There are telephones, jalopies, dirigibles, crystal balls, and [beam me over, Scotty] Portals. New Ottosland’s king requires a royal wizard. One that can do something impressive. Like turn a cat into a lion… or a lizard into…
