Editing Magical Realm Cyoa/Avalon (section)

====Economy and Trade====
Avalon lacks a traditional large scale economy, primarily because one is not needed. Physical necessities are non-existent, and simple transmutation spells can be used to create a suitable dwelling for any citizen. Thus, daily employment is not something individuals take part in out of necessity. Large businesses are likewise nonexistent, as a personal can gain more satisfaction from independent efforts that by working under the employ of others.

That is not to say that money and trade to not exist. The currency of Avalon is Mana, an essential energy that all objects can be broken down into using alchemy. This energy can be used to create anything and everything, theoretically, but the alchemist must understand that which they are trying to create.

As an example, any alchemist can create gold from Mana. A hypothetical substance that generates a passive gravitational field, however, is almost impossible to create if you don't have a sample.

The beauty of Avalon is that virtually anything can be found there. Anything a person can think of may be found sufficient effort, although actively malevolent substances and entities can't be found in Avalon, but rather in Underland. This means that there is a high demand for samples of exotic materials (which may then be analyzed and reproduced using alchemy), and vast amounts of Mana will often be traded away for such.

Another major economic demand is for finished products. Raw materials are plentiful, and basic needs can be met at little to no cost using magic, but magical devices and works of art (including the visual arts, games, literature, food, and music) still require creative effort and thus are valued immensely by a society which may readily meet all of its actual ''needs''.

The last major demand is knowledge. While the public schools and universities provide a basic knowledge of most everything, certain fields are best studied at the feet of their masters, and apprenticeships are a matter of course in life. There is also a healthy market for secrets, both of the world and the people that inhabit it.
