For my own needs I write fantasy. But at this time I am not sure what genre it is.

Base of that world is probably classic fantasy, because there are:

- unicorns
- dragons
- gods
- magic
- lycanthrops
- other extremely powerful beings

But I also placed there some very modern things like (and some more I still did not used)

- fluorescent tubes
- nuclear reactors
- nuclear bombs

but they are very improved to be _magic_ (not in definition _Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic_<sup>1</sup>). For example local version of fluorescent tubes are emiting cold light, they have similar shape - but their construction is simplified (to use magic as source of energy).

<sup>1</sup> - only one using of this A.C.Clarke's law is cybernetic visitor from else world; there Icefingers (healer, scientist and former soldier) will use variation of this law to explain being of that visitor.
