>>Ooh, yeah. At least Raymond and Gideon have other ways of adjusting. But the doppels have likely used magic for everything they possibly could.<<
It's easier to add than to subtract. Raymond and Gideon will be feeling like they've lost access to knowledge, but doppel-Gideon will feel like he's gone blind. :/
>> I'm likening it to our world pre-internet and then post-internet and yeah, it'll be a serious adjustment for the doppels.<<
That's a very good analogy. Really, the two worlds have taken different roads in terms of developing technology, one more mystical and one more mechanical.
On the other hoof, the danger levels are different too: Gideon and Raymond have moved into a much more dangerous world with little knowledge or protection. Their doppels have moved into a world that has next to nothing in the way of mystical dangers.
