"We use magical energy to...well, to do everything I've seen electristy do. It power appliances and homes and hand held devices. We cook with it, clean with it, use it to power our plumbing. It even power our autos, from the ones we drive in the street to military vehicles."
And perhaps they were a bit too dependent on it, and perhaps they had used more than needed at first, but that was all Gongora's fault.
"Oh, everyone who has magic or some sort of ability or power or what have you is muted. It may be a device - the thing that caused last night to happen - but that could be a trick. Apparently it broke - the device, I mean. It's fixed now, but..."
For once Tolten felt like he knew what was going on. He had carefully laid together what he knew of this place, and often found himself perplexed. But the device! The device he could speak of. Even if it were a trick, the knowledge was in his head.
