8$\begingroup$ You're basically asking us to write a story for you, rather than defining it. You are the author, you decide any downsides or upsides or politics or such issues to magic use. $\endgroup$Nepene Nep– Nepene Nep2024-08-13 11:09:08 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 11:09

8$\begingroup$ Yes, but you're supposed to have a best possible answer. You've only given upsides to the magic, and so any answer is just gonna have to invent downsides. With no limitations, there's no way to have a best answer, and so it's story based. $\endgroup$Nepene Nep– Nepene Nep2024-08-13 11:15:02 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 11:15

5$\begingroup$ The answer is obvious. They have to choose just one path. Nobody chooses Luck, because they choose other paths. They choose other paths, because the other paths are better. Why the other paths are better is probably up to you to explain (but it's likely to do with uncontrollability and uncertainty). $\endgroup$user111403– user1114032024-08-13 11:53:35 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 11:53

2$\begingroup$ Voting to reopen. Just in reading the question, it isn't asking for a character's choice and is thus not story based. So far all of the responses focus on some aspect of luck magic or history of magic or some other aspect of the world. $\endgroup$elemtilas– elemtilas2024-08-13 19:47:39 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 19:47

2$\begingroup$ Luck magic in specific might be really bad for any kind of modern technology. Changing the local laws of probability might not be a big deal if you're working with gears and belts, but complicated electrical switching or semiconductors could be badly affected. A lot of microelectronics depend on things like quantum tunneling (a random but predictable effect) to function properly. $\endgroup$Darth Pseudonym– Darth Pseudonym2024-08-14 14:07:36 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2024 at 14:07

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. science-based), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
