Said it before and I'll say it again: just because you understand the magic doesn't make it any less magical. A wizard may know the ins and outs of their spells, but they're still spells. Our entire universal is fucking magical, we just happen to have a decent understanding of why (some) of it functions the way it does. Jiggle a quark here and another may jiggle the same way somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, that's fucking wild and magical and incredible, and just because we have some level of understanding behind the mechanics doesn't make it not magic. It just makes it a hard magic system.

For me, the weirdest thing is that when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion; this results in the particle tracing out a curved path through the field. Like ... what the actual fuck? Why in hell would the universe be this way?

We don’t know what the fuck consciousness is.

Makes sense. Could be harnessed to do something probably but incredibly dangerous to do so.

In any case, it's powered with electricity.

Squint at this (from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_demons_in_the_Ars_Goetia) and these might be either ancient sigils or electronic symbols*.
EDIT: Fixed a typo

While I fully agree, I thought the distinction was unbreakable rules.
The laws of physics can’t be broken, even, under any circumstances, everywhere, at any time.
Whereas magic is more like there is an exception to every rule kind of deal. It’s far more like software, as in it’s mostly fully logically consistent except for random spots where devs took some shortcuts to make life easier.

I think the “exception to every rule” part is really dependent on which type of magic the writer is using. Many writers do establish hard rules for their magic. In those cases, it’s less “magic is the exception” and more “magic is engrained into the laws of physics.”

When we figure out how to manipulate elctro-weak at scale, it will be magic.
Electro-mag is pretty crazy already, I agree. The ICP can't even figure out how they work.

We always joked it was black magic but its literally on the name.

Is it even something that’s powered?
