| 3 | [[WMG: Ethshar is an artificial world...]] |
| 4 | ...which was built by English-speaking humans, sorcery is {{Magitek}} based on their technology, and Ethshar gods are AIs. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | What do we know about sorcery? |
| 7 | |
| 8 | 1) It uses devices ("talismans"). |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 2) Its terms and commands are garbled English words (''yz'raksis nyuyz'r'' = ''user access: new user'', for example). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | 3) The World uses a life-support system, which converts poisonous gases into breathable air. This system is a huge sorcerous talisman. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | So, it looks quite possible that English-speaking humans created the World with technology, and later the inhabitants learned to manipulate this technology a bit - which is the art of sorcery. |
| 15 | As for Ethshar gods being AIs, that's just a guess, but I remember the author saying that they ''have to'' respond if called upon in the correct way. |
