Magic is real albeit reserved to semi-uncontacted tribes in parts unknown is a fine setting but a much more interesting story would be how two exiles built the 300m long switch operated windpowered pipe organ that remains functional with absolutely no maintenance

Every one of the ancient magical civilisations you encounter in Tomb Raider, besides magically never showing up on satellite imagery, are all centered around the magical thing that changes the world so nobody recognizes they're sitting on the never-failing-never-maintenance ball bearing technology

The gold and artifacts are just a decoy. The real treasure is the secret gasket material they use to keep the systems pressurized for blow darts and shit.

you see that plattform with the holes on the left? That's raised via air pressure they collect from winds. how are they getting that amount of PSI?
