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

        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*.

          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.

                                Hard magic systems are my favourites, usually. The limitations are more interesting than the possibilities.

                                  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?

                                    When the environment is energetic enough, the electromagnetic force and the weak force unify into the electroweak force. The weak interaction controls radioactive decay.

                                    We can control electromagnetic force "at scale", IMO. It's not freely, but we have networks of electromagnetic systems that span continents.

                                    If we could control the weak force at the same scale... I'm not sure what wonders we might unlock. At the very least, I imagine we could "clean" instead of just "contain" radioactive waste, at least low-level stuff.

                                          I'd expand it to electromagnetic fields or something instead of just electricity.
