>>29863055>>29863149Saw these posts while I was scrolling through for the magic quanta discussions. You absolutely can have more fantastical elements to your country, you know. If you want to go with the "chuubanite for every chuuba" approach your magic for each individual fanbase will be small in quantity. 2434 is pretty fuckall huge after all. You could easily have an entire city for every chuuba and still have tons of room to spare, especially if you split city location by gender to place cities for male chuubas in nijimale instead of 2434.
It's not the kind of stuff where you'd be able to go around making global trade deals or using it as overt shows of power, however, so it wouldn't be of interest to your merchant or navy factions. Since you've set things up with there being massive class divides and differences in lifestyle between the rich elites and the average citizen, I don't think that's necessarily a problem -- in fact it's probably better that way since it means you won't have to retcon all the work you've done up until now. This is worldbuilding on the micro scale. The lifestyles, cultures and habits of individual cities and clans vs the "interests of the nation" type of work you've been doing up until now.
tl;dr You can have your city of Ange-worshipping alchemists and your city of Amamiya-worshipping dragon tamers, but their magic and chuubanite products would be limited-quantity local specialties.
