There will be joy.

And desecrated temples.

And music!

Yes, quite. There is nothing like ensuring all residents are safe and happy.

Engraved is a superior rendition of an image of Arkoth, the local deity of balance and speech, and two elves. Arkoth is burning the two elves. Arkoth is laughing. The two elves are suffering. The image was commissioned by the Round Guild, a local dwarven government.

I swear Toady, if you ever have characters discounting magic as superstitious mumbo jumbo in spite being an actual factual force that everyone can see infront of their eyes and recreate in a laboratory environment.

I am going to be really pissed.

Not that I can really mean anything... but my feelings will be hurt  :'(

I dunno there are bound to be simple folk who never encountered magic, or became jaded having been tricked by sham wizards (snake oil anyone?). I mean there are people alive today that don't, and do, believe in some strange things.

Toady has specifically denounced "factory magic" (the kind that usually can be recreated in a laboratory environment) in DFTalks. AFAIK, that means he's going for "extremely rare artifacts of power" rather than "the local level 5 wizard making +1 long swords".

This is also somewhat up in the air given his statements of support for a slider-based system of magic levels in worlds. From none to zany. I imagine that there might actually be good cause for "magic isn't real" sentiments in worlds where it's either not at all present or just slightly present.
