Paradox action: Don't do my action

You autosucceed and idle around!

[GreatWyrmGold]

Also, why does magic have to decline and be replaced by science?  Sufficiently advanced magic can accomplish the same things as technology.

Then don't let technology rise, use magic instead.

Depends on how exactly magic works, but I can think of some ideas.

[BFEL]

Zanzetkun has a point in my opinion. I mean MC didn't really explain WHY that would happen, so right now it seems hes doing that just to get another point on the eventual TVtropes page

But yeah, I trust Mastahcheese enough to figure he's not making magic die out for the sole reasoning of "Because that's what magic does"

[mastahcheese]

Speaking of which, given the whole "fate-locked" thing I got myself into could I flee from the Xantasnake while still keeping the whole fatelock going?
I just got an idea of my dude going town to town with the Xantasnake trailing a few miles behind and preaching the word of Xantalos, sparing the "true believers" from the invincible Xantasnake while leading it right through the towns of the heretics

Fleeing would cancel the Fate lock, or remove your powers from Xantalos, at Xantalos's digression.

Also, what will happen to my Gold Wizard?

I'm pretty sure he was crushed by a mountainhome.

Oh yeah.
...
What would have happened if he had lived long enough to see the Fall of Magic?

He would have likely just witnessed himself become rather powerless, he's not a lich, so his life isn't wasn't dependent on magic.
Although the fact that he technically invented the firearm would have given him a leg up in the tech world.

The decline of anime in the world and your character's ki becoming impotent.
Probably.

I think he's just a special form of wizard in mastacheeses eyes

Actually, he's not.
If you look at his character tab, his powers are in brown, not red, so it's not arcane.
So he wouldn't lose his powers, at least not for the same reasons.
The same goes for squidgen's beard powers.

Also, why does magic have to decline and be replaced by science?  Sufficiently advanced magic can accomplish the same things as technology.

Well, if you remember, the wizards are not human, in fact, no body know where they came from.
The whole reason magic exists in the world (arcane magic, at least) is because they broke the rules from the world they come from, and have isolated themselves from the source of their power.
The reason that magic declines with the passage of advancement, and not the passage of time, is because advancement is time.
Long story short, and plot twists unrevealed, the time line of this world has been tampered with, and it needs to be put back.
The actual cause of the time line being messed with is still going to be a secret.
Actually, the only one who would be aware of this in-character would be Kj, as both his wizard form and his god form.

I tried to explain it as best I could without ruining the whole thing.

[Xantalos]

Yeah, if BFEL ran away like a pansy, he'd likely get his powers and the fatelock revoked.
Of course, Xantasnake would then pursue and eat him for being a pansy.

That's why it's your choice, because if he could just cancel the fate lock, then Xantasnake would be crushed under the mountain, but you get to chose, so you can keep it alive.

[Elephant Parade]

Y'know, I had this whole cool secret plan to stop technological advancement and keep my powers, but honestly, I could probably just adapt to technology with zero trouble. Heck, it might even be beneficial. Ironically, I might be one of the main pioneers, once I expand my domains a bit.

Edit: Kinda funny how it's averaging one update per five pages or so.

That's actually becoming pretty standard for my games.

I think that more than half this thread is derails. Of course, they were entertaining derails, so the only real downside was recently fixed by Xantalos.
I demand that you add my BEAUTIFUL artwork to the fanart section. Everyone wants to see it.

Evidently, it will. Gravity's such a killjoy.

Well the idea wasn't to run away like a pansy, but to lead the Xantasnake on a chase to gather support for my later civ. I'm thinking something kinda Aztec-y with blood sacrifices and such.
Thus having a lot of people scared into believing in all that would be to my advantage later on.
The goal wasn't cowardly self preservation, but magnificent bastardry
