To be perfectly honest, this seems to...limit the possibilities of what can be done. And while I myself, and my story, contain things that are considered "technologically advanced", and while not too advanced, per say, it can still hurt future development or ideas I may have.

And it may not just be me, but other users to. Dunno who else, but I'm sure there's someone beside Aha, whose ideas would be damaged severely by this. And I personally believe that isn't helpful for the community. At all. Obvious as it may be.

Take my Automaton for example. Yes, they are machines powered by Lacrima, and yes, they get their Magic FROM said Lacrima, but...they are still robots, regardless. And the Lacrima only function as a "core", not the entire basis of what they are, it's just their "battery", in essence, the rest is just pure technology doing it's magic when pieces are put together to cause the chain reaction that is known as the Automaton.

Also, pretty sure people won't be as reliant on Magic to power everything in their lives like Edolas was. Humans do tend to try their hardest to find new sources of energy. So...yeah. Advancement is not really something that can be stopped.
