Laws of Physics - What are the laws of physics like in Two Sides to Each Tale?

Magic isn't necessarily uncanny to see, but it's rarer than it was before when entities like demons and fae roamed like they owned the place (because, well, they did. For a while.)

 
Magic System - What is the magic system like in Two Sides to Each Tale?

Most things like "Black magic" or "Witchcraft" are real, but so are things like "Demons" and "Angels." The only way for a human to wield the powers of one of these beings is if they're blessed or are in possession of some sort of trinket.

 
Technology - What is the level of technology like in Two Sides to Each Tale?

TSET has about the same technology as real-world America in about 2014.
