Re: [WW] Weird War I?

I think you're missing the point behind the concept of weird wars.  It is not 
the weapons that create the weirdness, it is the scale of the battles and the 
desire of one side to win at all costs.  

The nazi blood mages didn't invent their magic, they re-discovered it.  Blood 
magic would have been used throughout any time where there were sufficient 
innocent dying to keep the spiritual energy high.  The crusades are a perfect 
example of this.  The atrocities commited by the crusaders or the muslems 
would have been more than enough to power blood magic.  And the Sons of 
Solomon would have been there to try and curtail the shenanigans of anyone 
who decided to play with such dark forces.

Evil isn't tied to technology.  Technology just makes it easier.
