Everyone here is saying that magic is unlimited, that magic is as powerful as your imagination, as if magic actually existed. Technology actually exists, so it makes sense to talk about technology in absolutes. But magic only exists in fiction, and not in any consistent manner. The nature of magic is decided by, well, whatever you want. How powerful is the magic? What are the "rules" that control the magic? What are the limitations on the magic? Because every story I've read that included magic had some set of limitations. In mythology and fiction, being magical doesn't make you a GOD, it allows you to make illusions, or heal people, or throw fireballs from your hands, but it doesn't make you omnipotent. That doesn't mean that it can't, but I've never seen an example of it. Technology is the same way, but there's a logical progression through time from less to more powerful, because technology actually exists. The power of magic is arbitrarily decided by the writer of whatever book, movie, or video game you choose. I'm just saying that it's impossible to take a stand because we need to decide which version of magic (which is fictional) we are comparing to technology (which is real). Personally, I think that modern technology, and especially technology as depicted in science fiction, is more powerful than magic as depicted in most fantasy (that I've read). I've never seen, read about, or heard about a wizard with the power to destroy a planet the way the Death Star can.
