Something hot and readily available, so probably the last one.Peat? Coal?
Summon elemental?
I mean, there's a spell. One time use. Range measured in one mile. Every plant in range grows to maturity. Including giant redwoods.Something hot and readily available, so probably the last one.
Well, it would have to be combined with effective forestry to ensure continuous supply, assuming that one time use isn't one use only and no more.I mean, there's a spell. One time use. Range measured in one mile. Every plant in range grows to maturity. Including giant redwoods.
One use a year.Well, it would have to be combined with effective forestry to ensure continuous supply, assuming that one time use isn't one use only and no more.
Hmm...... Yeah. Land used for forestry is land no used for agriculture.
But you need a forest for resources it provides. And deforestation is a great way to fuck up agriculture anyway. So forestry is worth it.One use a year.
Hmm...... Yeah. Land used for forestry is land no used for agriculture.
That's assuming that you have a decent forest nearby, though. If your Isekai starts out in Egypt equivalent, a bit more troublesome.
There's nothing stopping him from just snapping his fingers. The spell just pumps them up to full maturity, without any consideration of things like soil fertility or water supplies.But you need a forest for resources it provides.

Can it be used on farmland? That would be a game changer, more than on forest.There's nothing stopping him from just snapping his fingers. The spell just pumps them up to full maturity, without any consideration of things like soil fertility or water supplies.
Yup. Your farmland can literally be 1 cm of sand on a solid bed of concrete, and you can scatter your seeds whatever... and any seed within range of the spell would still germinate and grow to full maturity. It can only be done once per year on the same area.Can it be used on farmland? That would be a game changer, more than on forest.
If so, you can basically make a harvest, twice a year at minimum, and the magical one would be much higher yield since you can basically cover the field with seeds without having to worry about fertility or spacing.Yup.

That's why I'm not too worried about the farmer thing. Because, well, this isn't the worst spell I have planned. There's another one that boosts fertility and doubles the growth rate.
I have no idea why no one has built a city yet, with such possible abundance, even with relatively low yielding crops and livestock of early agriculture.Yup.

They had no magic. No access to great power. No sorcery, no tech. They're, on the grand scheme of things, not important, which is why they're alive. Too small to take notice.
This is a story of the first sorcerer. Or at least, the first human one.
I see. Mine always had magics, if nothing like what you described.Because.... before the isekai appeared?

So, Humans are the minority here? Are the non-humans more advanced than them?
Well, I really need to sleep right now. See you later.

Yes, yes, I can hear you.Hello! Hello?
So basically I had a massive war between elves and Snakes. One of the weapons dragged the moon the moon down, basically the Tunguska event times 10. The resulting climate change killed half the snake population, and drove the elves underground or at least pushed back.Yes, yes, I can hear you.
The climate change also caused the shift of ape to human. And started out the first forays into agriculture. That was when the isekai was born. There's a power vacuum. And he intends to fill it. Probably also by reverse engineering the elder races technology.
Isn't that possibly a planetary annihilation event, if the moon is anything like ours? The lack of a moon is also going to have a significant effect on the world unless it is working on entirely different physics like The Elder Scroll.So basically I had a massive war between elves and Snakes.

I see. Although, how did that event exactly caused the evolution/shift?The climate change also caused the shift of ape to human. And started out the first forays into agriculture.

It should be. Think of the moon now like one in rwby. And yes, the moon shattering is why two civs with technology greater than today are now ruins?Isn't that possibly a planetary annihilation event, if the moon is anything like ours?

Climate change meant that there was less food. Meaning that you had to make sure you got a stable food supply. In other words, farming.
Oh, I thought you meant deorbiting moon and crashing it into a world.It should be. Think of the moon now like one in rwby.
I doubt that would have a very stable orbit in RL, but this is a fantasy world, so no big deal.Think of the moon now like one in rwby.
While it could explain the start of farming, you just described an entire process of the evolutionary events. Unless the moon and its shattering had some magical effect that rapidly changed the apes into humans, perhaps it is better to have humans already existing before, just very primitive and completely irrelevant other than maybe as an animal to snake people and elves?Climate change meant that there was less food.

You know what? You're right. Let's go with that.
Like... I'm thinking going from neanderthal to homo sapiens.

Technically, the Neanderthal was an entirely separate species or subspecies from Homo Sapiens, not a direct ancestor.Like... I'm thinking going from neanderthal to homo sapiens.
Yeah. But you get the idea.Technically, the Neanderthal was an entirely separate species or subspecies from Homo Sapiens, not a direct ancestor.
Question. How did life change when electrical lighting was invented?
Initially? Not much. It was expansive (both the electricity and the light sources) and not very bright. It took several decades for it to be improved and infrastructure to be built, but once they were completed, humans no longer had to rely primarily on daylight and had a ready-access to the light source.Question. How did life change when electrical lighting was invented?
I think the widespread electrification that allowed electric lighting is more significant, considering how reliant modern technology is on the electric grid.
