As to magic tech era's I would absolutely discard the invention of Plastics. but totally replace it by the Many Form Spells. There would not be the need developed to usse the invention of many objects we know now today. Magic would have replaced that completely. And it is how a technology/magic influences how it is used by the population to determine the tech era.(i believe to remember a movie/series where this topic was used; another nearby realm where Magic was developed instead of technology..was just as oblivious and misunderstanding to technology as we to magic---forgot the name of the movie/series) Also I would state the magic development more on the results and use (meanin; having whole or partially access to if willing)
