Tanner fell silent again, seemingly processing this revelation. "You said you're a mage yourself... Does that mean your advanced technology is... a result of your magic research?" he inquired, realizing why Astral Tech's technology seemed so far ahead of its time.
"You're half right, Mr. Tanner. In fact, if you were to learn about our work at Astral Tech, you'd find it's more scientific than you might think," Daniel said, a hint of enticement in his voice.
Daniel gave Tanner time to think, waiting patiently until he nodded. "There's a saying that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. You've convinced me, Mr. Emberweave. I want to understand this approach to technological advancement."
