How long did that take to be made? What exactly does it do?

"I dunno how long it took to make originally, but it needs to be renewed periodically and I'm pretty sure it takes less than fifteen minutes to do that?"

I don't know enough of your magic yet to comment. All I know is that this is much simpler than your magical girlness and the artefact but still way more complex than anything I've seen, and I've seen some complex things.

"Maybe we should visit my parents, get Dad to cast something in front of you."

"Yeah! Good idea."

"I'll ask him when would be a good time, then," she says, takes out a nonmagical rectangular object, and starts poking it.

"What's that?"

"It's my cell phone. ...Sort of like a computer but smaller."

Permalink

"Oooh."

"It is pretty neat," she agrees, finishing typing her message and sending it.

Can you show me?

Sure! She will show him phone things.

This is the best world.

She's glad he likes it.

Permalink

He wants to know other cool things about this world!

She gets out her tablet and explains ebooks.

...what. What. That might be this world's single best invention.

"It's up there! Does you world have vaccinations?"

Permalink

"It does not what are those?"

Permalink

"Do you have any idea how diseases work?"

Permalink

If you mean mechanistically, no.

"That's what I meant, yeah. So the kind of disease you can catch from someone else are caused by tiny, tiny living things, and your body learns how to fight them off which is why you mostly don't get the same one twice, and ones you do like colds it's because they change enough, genetically, that your body's existing defenses against them go obsolete. Vaccines are dead versions of the tiny creatures that cause disease, so your body can learn how to fight them without your having to actually get sick."

Was that as revolutionary as I think it is?

"No one gets smallpox or polio anymore!"

"Oh my gods." That is absolutely—that's the—that—okay that might be the single best invention I was wrong—can we import that right now -
