Hang on. I've seen that tattoo!

That diagram is just heat with extra steps.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I mean, yea. The people designing the AC to DC power supplies often don't care what you use them for, why would they bother putting schematics for a real load on their diagram?

We always joked it was black magic but its literally on the name.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]An actual textbook cover. I mean... An ancient grimoire of the dark arts
Edit: I almost forgot about the sequel

Didn't CERN just momentarily turn lead into gold?
That's really cool. I figured it could obviously be done with fission, but I didn't think we could just strip protons out of a nucleus. Cool share

Yes, because if you take the power away it stops existing.
But if you turn it back on the conscious doesn't return. Electricity is the energy conscious runs on, but it's not consciousness.

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?
That's... huh...
Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???
(Unless you're a physicist, in which case... fuck)

It's chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.
Also, that's a control spell, not a summoning one.
I was really hoping someone would catch this. I'm glad someone else was also paying attention in biology

I'm not sure if "Dharms" was a typo or a nickname, but that's the first time I've gotten that, and I genuinely like it. Like, what a great nickname. Love it.
Mein specialty
️ (or so I’d like to think)Thank you kindly

The trouble is that even the consciousness maintenance needs power. If the power is out for too long the infrastructure is too damaged. So it actually does return when you turn it off. It just has to be done quickly enough.

The mages of Electrical Engineering reseach the tools and formulars to control the magic. The mages of Hardware Engineering develop under great effort the sigils and rituals of how the rocks must be processed. The Warlocks of the CPU use the near infinit possibilities of algorithms and the power of the evolved rocks to create worlds nobody could ever have imagined (in exchange for the ability to go outside).

Hard magic systems are my favourites, usually. The limitations are more interesting than the possibilities.
Have you read Ra?

It's a house fly!
You win this one.

Gotta love the progression in this.

If that is a dick, it looks like it has some very serious STDs.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yea I only have a bachelor's in physics, can't explain the black magic fuckery that is electromagnetism. Go find someone with a PhD, I bailed to be an engineer

Yeah but it's too realistic, I want something convenient! Let me read one book and gain the power to create floating ice! Not read like 5 giant books and stufy for years so that I can create a microwave
No shade to microwaves, one of my favorite magic items

Only thing dumber than a mechanical engineer is an electrical engineer trying to design a housing.
You want to understand the deep magic, talk to electricians and technicians.

Clarke's Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
My version seems like another good corollary.

Nah, it's just new and improved: with Wings! (to stay in the right place all night long)

There's a lot of machinists who think they are hot shit, so fitting username.
