In the film "the wizard of oz" the Wicked Witch of the West is able to, entirely remotely though a crystal ball, cause an effect that makes anyone within a large area fall asleep and never wake up until another witch breaks the enchantment.

Yeah are we Harry Potter, MtG, Elder Scrolls, DnD, or Fairly Oddparents? Is this wish your enemies balls explode magic, use an incantation to make their balls explode, use a wand to explode their balls, or the kind of lame ass magic that doesn't allow you to blow up someone's testicles?

In the Wizard of Oz book, the Poppy Field is a consistent hazard that you just need to be dragged out of to be cured.

In the movie version, the witch gives a strange monologue about her spell, mixes something in a mortar near her crystal ball, then Dorothy finds herself surrounded by poppy flowers which cause her and the lion to immediately lose consciousness until Glinda uses magic to break the spell.

This is why I always bring up the Wicked Witch, because the way these threads usually go is some "Connecticut Yankee" Gate:Bitch inevitably starts saying that fantasy gets shot with a gun and anyone saying magic doesn't get killed by a gun is using some ultra obscure magic system no one's ever heard of.

No one argues when you use the Wicked Witch as an example and while she's not exactly a smart villain she shows some powers that don't stop being impressive once you introduce them to a modern setting (teleportation and remote attack mainly).

This is the only anon that is remotely close. The existence of magic users capable of doing flashy Harry Potter style spells would've fundamentally altered human history in such a way that humanity would exist in a completely alien way to us.

If these wizards existed since the beginning of time, they would very likely be worshiped as living gods by primitive humans and would rule over normies as magic aristocrats that would tightly control the spread of their magic lineage. Earth kingdoms would be similar to Dark Sun or the Goa'uld from Stargate, a collection of realms entirely based on the personal rule of whichever God-Wizard is stronger, and advanced science and industry would probably never arise

An entertaining curiosity when artillery, nukes and chemical weapons exist. Actually wait. They'd fulfill a similar role to the company level drone operator in that they can recon and call for fire, except magic is on the other side of the call.

there's some interesting Harry Potter fanfiction that delves into this
basically the big divergences are either

>1) as above, so below
based on the theory that wizard and muggle life is more intertwined than either admits
the muggle battlefield becomes a proxy or the visible tip of a magical shadow war iceberg. this is more or less canon at least for WW2, as JK Rowling hinted that the Dumbledore-Grindelwald war was at the very least concurrent if not part of muggle WW2

alternatively,
>2) wizards won't have the same politics as muggles
which is plausible because of how isolated wizard communities are, in SOME ways, from muggles
the problem is mudbloods, but canonically they make up such a tiny proportion of the wizard population that it would be easy to basically ignore their problems or deal with them ad hoc
halfbloods are more numerous and more intertwined and they would be the real problem

>>64797087

don't have to, the Protoss Mothership's Time Warp ability has ample examples of battlefield implementations

JK is not only a British Woman, but a particularly retarded British Woman, making her one of the least strategically proficient minds on the planet. No wizard would take control of a SSBN because they cant even figure out what Rubber Ducks are after earnest study, most of them don't even know what a gun IS, and moreover because successfully describing the inside of a modern submarine would be an impossible task for Rowling.

Fair point, but whoever was writing this script REALLY went out of their way to inject it every chance they got. In the opening scene of The Way of Water alone, there's like three different pregnant chicks.

Normally I'd say it was Cameron, but this isn't really a repeating theme in any of this movie (the only other movie of his I can think of that has a pregnant woman at all in it is Sarah Connor at the very end of the original Terminator and even that was more obligatory than anything)

Well you can pretty much strike Harry Potter from the list right there seeing as one of the major themes of the entire series is that the Wizarding World has to remain hidden, lest the goy-errr I mean muggles start pogroming them again, and that children who bridge the two worlds Hermoine (born to a mixed marriage) and Harry (only discovered his wizard ancestry fairly late in his childhood) are bullied as outsiders.

Yes what with spending your entire life surrounded by Atlatls and having significant proportions of your society grow up in caveman tribes.

One hundred dog sized spiders with zero superpowers are considered a critical tactical advantage to Wizards in large scale combat. An individual wizard has the "tool kit" to topple the entire modern world order but the brain of an angry child.

Except in this comparison, the "atlatl" is just straight up the MORE lethal weapon in most direct combat scenarios.

well there's the rub. wizards don't have to fight in direct combat scenarios. they already carry on their lives completely undisturbed by mind controlling the population to not know they exist. and all it takes, as I said, is 1 competent wizard to win the war.

she gives birth while still asleep, and her newborn babies seeking nourishment suck at her fingers, removing the thorn
Sleeping Beauty wakes up, they are found by the prince, and she marries him
his mother is less than pleased, and wants to eat them, as she is secretly an ogre
one day when the prince is away his mother orders the palace cook to cook them
the cook hides them and cooks lamb instead
the ogre is not deceived / finds out and is about to throw them in the fireplace and eat them all for reals when the prince returns

that's a rather shortsighted take. it surely wouldn't look like nine guys with guns and one dude with a magic wand and a pointy hat. the magic would get integrated into the conventional doctrine (and change it). a wizard artilleryman mogs your muggle artilleryman and a wizard pilot with right spells in a Sukhoi still mogs your muggle pilot in an F22.
the limited number of magic users would be a bottleneck for everyone and it would be interesting to see to what roles would different nations allocate their valuable wizards

I'm taking into account that there's presumably a finite population of them. Say 1 in 10,000 people have the gene. That means for an army of 100,000, you're going to get around 10 witches or wizards. They can't be everywhere at once and are not expendable. They'd already be a rare sight on a pre-modern battlefield and would get even more rare with technological progression making it even more dangerous.

It only takes is one guy with a rifle getting a lucky shot off on a witch who's distracted surveying enemy troop movements and suddenly you're down to 9.

>>64833999
Okay but what if they're scrying the enemy from the safety of a bunker in your capital city, yknow, using THE most common witch power in all of fiction and folklore?

Let's assume that Wizards can't just be walking weapons of mass destruction or absurd reality benders or they'd already rule the world. Let's assume they're a rare breed and there's only 1 on every 10.000 thousand pop. A mid-sized industrial nation would have around 5000 to 10000 wizards.

I believe we overlook the force multiplier they can be for normal troops - not by flying a slow broom into visual range but because of their use in the industry. Rather than a single Wizard on the frontline he could be making rifles of always hitting, potions of regrow fucking limbs and cast invisibility on scouting planes or imbue 1000kg bombs with amplification. A dozen would rearm and refit vehicles in minutes, a hundred could mend your navy after deployment in a few days instead of months. Transporting new barrels and shells to your artillery? Childs play with the mage supported logistics. How do we deal with ptsd ridden veterans? A spell of amnesia for the last year of trauma, good as new.
