Post-war magic boom
During the war, both the Tasnican Republic and the Thamassan Empire trained up large numbers of spell casters, mostly wizards and bards, to fight on the front lines, craft magic items and provide support to troops. As both nations demobilized their forces in after the Matango Accords, many of these spell casters had to find new jobs. Some found a place in mercenary companies but most had to turn to crafting magic items and spell casting as a service for the greater public. The glut of spell casters in the market lead to a significant reduction in the prices for both magic items, mostly consumables, and spell casting services. Furthermore, many secrets of the Mages, which were passed to trusted Tasnican wizards eventually leaked to the greater spell casting community sparking further innovations.
Familiar Craze
One particular innovation, which seemed minor initially, had profound impacts in civilian and military applications was the creation of spell scrolls which could be used by anyone who could read the activation words. The Tasnican Wizard Mihara Kyoumi, who moved to Orenzia after the war, started marketing scrolls of Find Familiar to the wealthy families as the ultimate pets. Her success was immediate, and Kyoumi could not possibly keep up with demand and soon other enterprising wizard joined the market. Every children of wealthy families, and many adults too, wanted a familiar. It became a status symbol in Orenzia to have a familiar, even among the artisans. Within a couple of years, the craze extended to the rest of the Eastern Plateau. They were cheap enough that people even got into making their familiar fight each other and bet on the result.
The form the familiar would take was hard coded in the scroll by the wizard who created it. Some wizards began customizing the exact shape and even added certain abilities. The price of such scroll was considerably higher. Designer familiars quickly became a way for the rich to show off their wealth and wizards to show off their skills.
New Air force
Scrolls of Find Steed were also popular among the wealthy for the convenience of being able to summon a ride at will. However, the mass production of Scrolls of Find Greater Steed revolutionized air forces for nations who could afford it. Through the Great War, a great emphasis was placed on maintaining air superiority using fleets of airships centered around one or more Aircarriers with a capacity for between 60 and 100 flying mounts. These airships needed to transport the mount's rider, caretakers and food, all of which took considerable amounts of space. In the post-war period, Tasnica found it cost effective to bind a Greater Steed, generally Griffons, to every light flying cavalry rider in its air force and repurposed the saved space on its Aircarriers for the larger mounts, such as Megagriffons, Dragons and Rocs, for its heavy flying cavalry and bombers. The Thamassan Empire, on the other hand, opted to double down on the use of light flying cavalry, transported on simple frigates and converting its fleet of Aircarriers into Dreadnoughts, abandoning heavy cavalry almost completely. Given that neither great powers has directly engaged each other in air battles since adopting their new doctrines, it is unknown which one will prove superior.
A secondary effect of the pervasiveness of Find Greater Steed scrolls was a severe drop in the demand for natural crytomounts of that class, which must be trained, fed and cared for. Cryptomount rearing capacity has generally shifted upward for the more powerful cryptomounts that cannot be bound with Find Greater Steep scrolls.
Scrolls of Find Superior Steed and Find Supreme Steed are known to exist, albeit they are rare and many jurisdiction ban their creation and use.
