    Having read through Hourglass before starting to vote, I'm sure the build team will create something brilliant regardless.

    I'd like to throw in a vote for EXTREME! (Magic is fairy-tale level prevalent, causing many problems to be solved effortlessly; minor magical study results in learning powerful spells equivalent to at least 4th or 5th level D&D a la Dealing with Dragons).

    If creating a category is not allowed, put me down for Very High.
    In Dungeons and Dragons, racism is frowned upon, unless you're playing an elf. Then it's an interesting character trait.

    Well, I'm going to chime in with Very High. It just does seem to fit.

    I'm abstaining from this vote.

    Also, you might want to update the thread title (it still says we're voting on the theme).

    I'll go with Very High, though it hardly needs my vote. It just makes sense to me given the Genesis thing.

    I like the idea that the sheer, over-blown power used to birth Creation has left it awash in nuclear fallout magical energies causing all sorts of wonder and mystical awesome to spring forth from the genesis of the world.

    I'll take very high magic please. It does seem fitting.

    I do so hope it turns out to be more mysterious, spiritual and organic in its appearance and use than industrial, marketable and... er... hammerable... if that makes any sense to anyone.

    Put me down for Very High magic. The world is new, and so is magic. The eldritch unknowable secrets bit should come later-right now, magic is just something everyone and their grandmother can do.

    This setting should have Very High Magic. Unchained primordial beings are physically present and grant vast power to those who know how to access it. The land itself is is one of these primordials, being molded, beaten, and shaped by the deities against its will. Any who would oppose the gods can draw on this vast source of power.

    Very High Magic. It's a young setting. All those legendary artifacts from long ago are being crafted right here and now.

    It's always interesting to see the creation process (no pun intended) unfold.

    Very High Magic for all the reasons everyone has been mentioning...
    • I want to be able to have Thor come to my high level mage-smith (artificer, wizard, sorcerer, class matters not...) and commission his hammer.
    • I want my barbarian walking around in the skin of an Epic level lion he beat to death with his bare hands when his sword proved useless that grants him DR 30/Epic or Bludgeoning.
    • I want to meet Vecna when both he and I are 3rd level characters and become his arch-foe throughout his rise to godhood.
    • I want to be the guy who created the spell Detect Magic.


    Even more awesome to my mind, but not as much to do with "magic" or "magic items" per se (slightly OT for this stage but I don't think I care) :
    • I want my elven bard to woo a woman far above his station (not to mention, usually, his height), win her love, and be walking around with a goofy grin for the next decade when they are a surprised with an egg, thus discovering that half-dragons are a possibility the universe allows.
    • I want my ranger to keep the first pair of hamsters ever to exist anywhere in the multi-verse as his pets.
    • I want to see (but not fight) a wondrous new creature before lunch, then have a god disguise himself as a poor traveler and beg to share the parties dinner, with his true motive being to get "consumer feedback" on that creature he created while I was eating breakfast. Bonus points if it is instead a pair of gods who are still deeply and obviously in love named Bahaumet and Tiamat and the creature in question is a prismatic dragon.

    Very High Magic; mythic-style settings are always fun, like DracoDei has mentioned.

    Although my vote is likely a statistical blip at this point, I think that DracoDei summed up my opinion quite nicely. I shall vote for Very High Magic, to Afro's probable chagrin.

    Very High Magic it fits the Genesis theme, and DracoDei has outlined why it would be incredibly awesome.

    Although very high magic is an interesting concept, I think I value backwards compatibility over novelty for novelty's sake. With High Magic you still get many of the benefits for the setting and the flavour that very high magic provides, but you also don't have to worry about how to use content generated for this campaign setting in your own home setting. By using the default magic level of the game in general it's not only easier to balance but also more accessible to the audience.

    very high just makes too much sense. I would vote for "very very high", but you don't have it.


    and this is from a guy who runs mostly low magic settings.
