We get to sit in front of an expensive new electric marvel for most of the day.
We drink beverages in uniform plastic or glass containers.
Entering digits into the machine causes merchandise to arrive a few weeks later.
We communicate instantly with nearly anyone anywhere.

The massive field of perception and influence that we have is magical.

Completely divorced from participating in or needing to understand the process of production, we merely need an amount of currency to make the shit happen. With this power, one can acquire goods that are either surreal in their utter uniformity, or in the fact that they're tailored to exactly what you want. Reality is shaped by your will.

aside: and with the experience you get from your travels, you build up your skill levels, get more MP, and you get them much faster, and you gain access to forms of using up your money/magic.
