I seem to have erred. What I was attemping to get across was that
primitive people *now* will have more sophisticated magic than their
ancestors. The First Age Bemuri were coming out of the Great Darkness
during which sophistication was at an all time low (the high mortality
played havoc with longstanding traditions) whereas the Wendarians were
much earlier and only just beginning to magically innovate (as a result
of the troubled times of the era).
