How do you incorporate magic & magical elements from historical sources into a #TTRPG - especially when that game is intended to have a pedagogical role?
I'll look at this through the early medieval Lombard laws, which I'm (slowly) adapting into the #LangobardRPG

Langobard is a #ttrpg where players investigate, resolve, prevent -or commit!- crimes and engage with Lombard socio-legal institutions, as outlined in the Lombard’s first written law-code, the “Edictus Rothari” (which was issued from the palace in Pavia in 643 CE)

Magical creatures and things appear in 4 (of 388) of Rothari's laws (& 2 of Liutprand).
A sceptic might assume that magic doesn't exist, and its medieval proponents were simply irrational or being manipulative.
So how do we engage with magic in a historical game?
