The more I think about magic, the less I am inclined to think it is necessary, especially if we leave out any relation to Celandra. Since for most cultures, magic and high technology do not mix well together, and we are trying, I think, to get away from the more mundane tech and go all out to the far future. Psionics would be acceptable for elite groups within most societies and perhaps existing in all of certain very unique races. The original goal was, I thought, to be more SFiction than SFantasy, thus doing away with most forms of magic. And so we are left with a very high-tech mixture of cultures and societies and low- or no-magic socities. Unless of course the main tech for the society is highly developed magic, complementing or doing away with technology.
