| Jan 29, 2019 at 17:32 | comment | added | Lonha | If I answer and change the details of the world to fit these loopholes and questions brought up by people, some of the already posted answers may not apply. Should I just avoid editing the question and just let it the question die as it is? It doesn't seem appropriate to alter what I have already written. | |

So there's about one person per-country in your 'can do more than a fireball' category. So schools of magic would be pretty basic stuff. | |

| Jan 28, 2019 at 16:17 | comment | added | Alex Shpilkin | Practically unrelated fact: printing text on sheets of stuff is an incredibly old technology, well-known in pre-Gutenberg Europe and even in ancient China. Gutenberg’s contribution was doing it cheaply, by assembling pages from metal letters (instead of carving whole pages in wood, as it was done earlier), fixing them using a special alloy (that expands when it cools, like water, but unlike almost everything else), and when you’re done printing, melting them and getting your letters back intact (periodicals!). So we say “before the printing press”, but it’s actually “before typesetting”. | |

| Jan 28, 2019 at 13:12 | comment | added | Jemox | Have you thought that it could solve all of your problems if magic appeared later on ? The god was sleeping and woke up a short time before the story begans, so technology is already in place and it won't hinder your story. | |

| Jan 28, 2019 at 7:14 | comment | added | Lonha | I realize that tribute magic is really loose and there are many loopholes in it. Fortunately, the magic system is based on a god. So he, in my place, would make up magical laws so that things that would break the world wouldn't happen so easily. I'm sure that many of you would think that having a god figure fix my problems is stupid, but loopholes that allows the inhabitants of my world to became gods themselves just shouldn't exist. Having god limit the humans from pursuing science is different than stopping the birth of a god king. | |
