The Westerners, by and large, use sorcery to augment their material technology and not use it as a replacement for material things. Thus they use Bless Armour and Boost Damage in Battle but not Conjure Invisible Sword. They can create such things as a sorcerous timekeeper constructed solely from magical energies but it will be made in the form of a hourglass or waterclock IMO.
This would be especially true for the Brithini who are so antiquated that they make the Amish look like post-modernists.
