Laws exist but people break laws all the time so yeah it’s more plausible that magic does exist, it’s just restricted. Having it be exclusive (supposedly) to the upper class would also highlight the social imbalance in the sect as well

That makes me wonder if they’d be able to develope technology that traps magical energy and prevents it from being turned into something usable, ie magic energy into flames. Known magic users might need to wear one of those? Or maybe those are exclusively used in prisons or by law enforcement, along with stuff like Hollow’s magic

A device like that would also be a reason for the deities to keep the sects separate. Deities wouldn’t want cyber sect policemen to start snapping those sealing devices onto magical people of the medieval sect for instance. Also, the mortals of each respective realm have their own realities and having it broken further would not only mentally affect inhabitants of each but could lead to conflict

It’s true that the modern sect of all places is where magic needs to be kept from reality. At least for me (this might be going into headcanon territory) there’s basically the ‘known world’ where all the mortals live, but the rest are areas that are magical in nature such as forests with mystical creatures. The edges would be where those weird incidents happen, like spotting Bigfoot or something for a real life equivalent. There probably are people that prevent mortals from actually seeing anything important, and maybe one of those people cast a spell that had a similar effect as the Mist in the PJO series.

A plot I’m in with Fallon, Bix, and Vine also involves a lab that’s located in the modern sect, and the workers there are magic users too so I suppose it would be located in the unknown area to prevent mortals from discovering all their snake shifter experiments
