Al what do you mean about "disappearing magic"? Are there any spells? You know I always play as a Mage... Will I be able to do so in Arcanum?
Absolutely. In fact, it's easier to play a mage than a tech-user. The game's not perfectly balanced. One player put out a mod to achieve that, but I think he went just a bit too far in the other direction. Play a mage; start out with the Harm spell as one of your first choices. You'll never regret it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
In the gameworld, magic has been dominant for a long time. Suddenly, within the last 50-100 years, science has moved from nowhere to a position equivalent to the mid-19th century. (*cough* happens all the time, of course! *cough*) Finding out what's going on is only part of the PC's quest in the game.
