I'm writing a sci-fi book with a fantasy feel. For example, the main character has a "magic" sword. He'll find out over the course of the story that it's a piece of lost tech. For mine, I write it like it's standard sci-fi, but with a few elements (like the sword) that look like magic. I already know it works, so I'm sticking to those limitations. In a fantasy story with tech, I think you'd almost want to do the opposite, fill the world with wonder, and have a few items, that, while powerful, feel somewhat out of place. (I like to imagine what a Roman or medieval warrior would make of a man with a full-auto gun. )

Ohh! If you like that sort of thing, you have to read Ranks of Bronze, Foreign Legions, and The Excalibur Alternative.
