	"Low" Magic probably has a tough time getting by without low tech to support it by providing a medium to enchant. We'll stop worrying about enchantments here for now and concentrate on what happens when you put High Magic to work making units and weapons like in ye olde days.<br>

Now, are magic weapons this time around going to be spell-based, ie they emulate a spell (from a lower Magic Milieu level) using Magic Materials as a catalyst, or will they be based on the Magic Materials and use a Magitech Tree that reflects the Tech Milieu one?

'''Magical Circles''' can be mounted as Weapon or Option and may fire independently of Power Hungry weapons (since it's a mage casting the spell). They are facilities aboard a vessel or inside an MDP-scale fortification used to enhance or multiply the power of magic-users. All three branches of magic may use them, though only Ritual utilize the higher level versions.

'''Artifice Weapons''' are invariably created from some kind of Magical Resource. They tend to have side-effects or spell-like qualities and may be broadly considered the pure-magic counter to industry. Because active magic effects tend to interfere with one another, only one type of Artifice wWeapon may be operated on a ship at a time.

'''Drain''' weapons consume ether, souls, or something on a per shot rather than regular wartime upkeep basis. This is generally due to having large scale spell-like effects.
