Mod Idea: Modern Magic

[malonkey1]

I had a thought one day what if we took CIV4, and made a mod with magic...But not just take it through the dark ages! What if we took it through to the future era?! Magic-powered fusion, alchemical fuel, eldritch bombs, the possibilities are endless!!! what do you guys think?

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Arthur C. Clarke

True, but that depends on whose perspective from which you are viewing the technology. Example: Say you take a gameboy color to a desert Island. you turn it on, and the natives worship you as a god. To you, the GBC is common, outdated in fact. To the islanders, however, it is a magical object. So, it's all relative. Also, you could take a DC Comics standpoint. Science and magic...very distinguishable. Science is reason logic, and very objective; magic is innate, irrational, and very subjective. some try to combine, some maintain that they are uncompromisable.

Well, Unless this mod has city populated purely by Mr. Clarke, this won't truly matter. He's only one guy, after all.
