How do you feel about Techno Magic?

Technology + Magic covers a wide range of different levels of technology. Plenty of different styles from steam punk all the way to star wars nonsense.
I've seen various angles of it and all of them are quite fun to tangle with.

'Techno-Magic' is a fair description of the 'ancient aliens' abilities in my worlds. They were a naturally psychic race who incorporated that ability into their technology. Later, they terraformed assorted worlds, imported bands of humans, goblins, and others, and then genetically imbued select members of those races with vastly increased PSI ability when their numbers declined. (The ancient aliens are not humanoid.)

The vast majority of present-day 'wizards' are descended from those PSI-enhanced folks.

When it works, the ancient alien tech is on a par with that of Star Trek.

To be fair, it's my favourite direction. I love alternative technology development, where humanity or whatever civilization went slightly different rout. It's way more attractive than old "sword and shield" type of fantasy. No reason to cling to sticks when people would build and use science even in world of different physics.
