Biotics are just mages. They're easy.
Honestly it's tech that's trickier. Probably cop out and say they're psionics. The various sealing abilities and rebuffs they have are mental assaults. Psi-crystal for drone, telekinetic barriers for shielding.
Reapers are literal giant space squid.

find and replace all sciencey words for fantasy terms. Honestly the difference between science fiction and fantasy can be stated to be up to word choice.

There's a few options for modelling how space is connected by the mass relays.

You could have portals link various realms/planets/planes that require a kind of spell jammer style ship to traverse.

But if you wanted a more typical fantasy feel you could have the setting be an archipelago where each mass relay and its surrounding systems are an island with a few cities/towns on it.

It would be much like classic Greek mythology.

>>44416579
Alchemy?

>>44416579
What if both biotics and tech is represented by magic but different classifications of magic?
For example having biotic be arcane while tech is divine.

>>44416752
floating "island" planes with only void/cloouds/arcan energies between them.

Dragons can create a natural shield to help you traverse it. You can also use a ship's artificial one. And there's portals.

I'd reverse it if we're going for those particular choices. Especially with the Asari's religion.
>>
>>44416579
Tech can just be magitech stuff.

Shields are literally magically powered devices that create a barrier, while biotics are full blown magic.

I probably wouldn't senpai

How exactly does one remotely sabotage a bow via magitek?
I assume we're using bows for ranged anyway.

>synthetics are now undead

>sapient undead are CLEAVE AND SMITE illegal, but mindless/animal undead are fairly common and accepted
>quarians try to jam multiple animal souls into one body, geth war ensues
>don't even need to change anything about husks
>reapers are liches living on the moon
>cultivate magical pro-necromancy societies, come down and harvest them for lich material, then wipe them out and start over

Golems work just as well.

>>44418110

Aren't golems just sapient elemental spirits shoved into a body, chained there, and then given a lobotomy?
>>
>>44421232
depends on the setting.

>>44416473

>>
>>44422839

Reapers are just flying tarrasques.
