Earth 66

On earth 66, magic had existed since the dawn of time, as an elemental energy which could be harnessed by living creatures to do things which might otherwise be impossible. Humans who could wield magic became known as wizards, or witches, or, if they were particularly cruel or petty in the use of their power, warlocks. As society advanced, magic and science were initially considered to be in opposition (in the original age of enlightenment in the eighteenth century), with those who studied science scoffing at the existence of magic, and magic users resented a smug superiority they stereotyped in scientists. Eventually, magic's existence was proved to the world when a group of particularly vile warlocks tried to conquer earth, in what became known as the Great Magic War. This war occurred at the dawn of the twentieth century, drastically affecting global affairs for the rest of history. Scientific opinion shifted, with a majority of scientists becoming convinced of the existence of magic. As a result, science was used to study magic and how it works, causing new advancements in the scientific understanding of the universe. By the modern day, the line where science ends and magic begins is blurred, with most modern technology utilizing magical energy in some way, shape, or form.
