the mistake is applying the term "science" to something like a scholars 
Guild, Mechanicians Guild, etc.  Highly unlikely that the way we think about 
science today exists on Cidri.  You might try and describe what the MG does 
as "an observable mechanistic approach" to solving extremely limited needs. 
That doesn't = "Science" nor should it.  It's like trying to say that 
Egyptians used "science".  They didn't.  But they did use advanced 
mechanistic means to build big stuff.

Hmm. But on Cidri you have undeniably existing, provable magic, and also 
science (Scholars Guild, Mechanicians Guild) and technological artifacts and 
backstory, and a fair degree of freedom to think about them. Science 
wouldn't be very scientific if it tried to disbelieve magic on Cidri.

I've a problem with magic as science.  The two have nothing to do with one
another historically, philosophically and mythically.  It's like trying to
explain "miracle" with "science" and vice-versa.
