Technology exists and magic does not. I don't mean that flippantly, there's a lot there if you start to unpack it. I think existing is kind of the only difference. People who manipulate technology are basically actual wizards.

If you have fairy sparkles that can make flowers grow, even if they are of the natural world, it is technology to learn how to wield them. Fire is a natural phenomenon, summoning fire on command and directing it toward productive purposes is technology.

My specialization of the wizard class used to deal with arcane runes like `(() -> {})` until the text elementals were discovered. They possessed the machines, and now we mostly whisper prayers to them for favor.

It sort of sounds like I'm talking about a magical thing but it's actually technology because it's the stone cold truth.
