Golden Age of Magic

The  is a period which followed after Middle Ages.
==Overview==
Taking place around 200 years prior to present day (18-19th century)Blytonbury's Undead TravelogueLittle Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 1, page 4, after the Witch Hunts of the Middle Ages up to the Industrial Revolution, the cease of persecution on magic users, witches in particular, allowed them to use the art of magic openly, adopting their talents for the benefit of mankind. As machinery did not exist yet, people relied on magic for everything. Magic began to be seen as a wonderful practice and witches were celebrated as the epitome of human wisdom. As a result, many women at the time became witches.Little Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 1, page 5
However, the Golden Age of Magic came to an end when machinery begun to be created, giving rise to new sources of power and technology far more convenient than magic. Simultaneously, humanity stopped believing in the power of magic, let alone the unknown and things beyond the realm of normality. Social status of magical families, even affluential ones, became less relevant than it used to, which didn't help by their recent generations being less interested with magic than they realized. As a result of this, the magic was slowly declined, leading the witches to an modern era in which they were on the brink of obsolescence. Efforts to stave off the decline were made from development of Sorcerer's Stones and Magic Batteries to Magitronics pioneered by Croix Meridies which greatly improve the use of magic and magic energy drawn from Ley Lines, but neither of them provide permanent solutionLittle Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 1, page 12. It's unclear whether wizards were also affected but regardless, both eventually spared from such fate following the revival of Yggdrasil.
