I don't know if this has been suggested or not.

I was reading some of the cores and magic happens to be one of them.  When magic is put into the game I hope there will be a way to disable it in the world creation or something.  Magic can be cool some times, it can also get in the way, or be the way your fortress ends.  Like if your arch-mage thinks it cool to make a artifact out of grass, steel, cheese, paper, and computer RAM.  Now your not going to find computer RAM lying around your fortress to build a bracelet or something dumb.your mage thinks being emo isn't good enough and that taking every one down with him/her is cool and tries to kills every one in the fortress.  To prevent that vs. not using strange moods, make magic an optional thing to use.  Magic will most likely make the game cooler but I and maybe others don't want to aways play with magic.

tl;dr
Make magic optional.

considering that a simple change of yes to no can cut things like weather and temperature off completetly, disabling magic will be easy. The only thing that might prove difficult is if it was ingrained into the game world (ie magic is the new electricity) but I doubt toady will do that, or at least on that scale.

Well, you'd need to spawn wizards, magical items, magical academies  , and various other things. It should probably be an option during worldgen, rather than an init file toggle.

If you'd give even the slightest attention to reading the forum you're posting in, there's been like 10 threads about magic in the last few weeks.

I've been working 10 hour shifts, which effectively kills magic.
So, I'm gonna wait for a few more versions to pass and I can discuss some stuff with Toadius before making the thread.
