I hate Forgotten Realms though, it's a High Magic World where magic has changed NOTHING about the world what so ever. You still have a basically medieval feudal society with no magical improvements despite the fact that every farmer and his DOG has a +1 Magic Item and you could throw a rock and hit a dozen Arch-Mages (at least, in 2nd/3rd ed they did, I don't know about 4th)
If you had read the books at all you would know why magic itself doesn't play a bigger role in changing things; it can't.
The level of magic power is restricted there (magic nearly destroyed the realm once,) so while you might be able to spit and hit 3 arch-mages with it, they aren't the same caliber as an arch-mage in other realms.
Actually, in my team's campaign setting, we "unrestricted" magic in a way... See, we got the Epic level Handbook and the deity book, (small note: at least half our players are simplistic adventurer types, whereas I'm often the bad guy of the game, p.s. I don't lose much) anyway, I basically made a Sorcerer who killed Orcus and used a spell I made using the ELH to suck up his demonic essence (thus I was a Demon Lord) went on to become the God Of Magic by killing off the following (and taking their Divine Portfolios): Mystra, Boccob, Nerull and St-Cuthbert (although St-Cuthbert is because I was enforcing Anarchy as opposed to his Lawful tendencies) and although my DM said that I was NOT to release magic (even though I was, by then, the supreme god of magic) or else he'd restart the world I've built so hard to achieve a status in, I basically created Gems that allow one to enhance the power of his spells almost 10 fold (making the Wish Spell the most powerful thing ever since I'd tinkered my Eye, which was one of the gems, to rid me of XP costs) allowing my mortal vassals to almost "give" magic away and thanks to me, the world soon had guns (that basically threw the lightning bolt spell or used transmutation to propel small metal spikes), free Energy/Food/material and mass produced gloves that allowed people to meld materials to their will, it was Utopia (my own version of Atlantis). Although it was kinda tyrannically ruled by Mages, they answered to me, making me the supreme overlord. But my Sorcerer (whom BTW was Called Seraph) got bored with it all and ascended his godhood to become something more (basically sit alongside Ao).
But since the pcs were taking all my visionnary work and started the "Era Of Peace" which btw was boring, I made SnakeEyes (hence my profile name) the Pirate, with my modest beginnings as a smuggler and assassin, I quickly rose to power as lord of the seas and stole the Shards Of Seraph one by one and used them to destroy eachother (except one that I used to raise the World Capital, which became known as Atlantis XD as well as kill most figures of authority, plunging the world into a dark chaos where I presently sit on top of the Food Chain as a level 20 Swashbuckler, 20 Fighter, 20 Psion and 20 Rogue)
Said that way I'm starting to feel over-powered... God I'm Good
