I asked a question similar to this when I first joined the list a few
months ago. Since than, I've been thinking about all kinda of uses for
(or consequences of) the loss of magic is space. Can people be freed of
insect spirits in space? What about the magic used to sustain a
Cybermancy type borg? What happens to metahuman vision?
Etc etc etc...
