Just because you know how something works doesn't make it not magic
Totally agree. I just witnessed my sister delivering her baby a few days back.
Any sufficiently analysed magic is indistinguishable from science!
If you understand how quantum mechanics works, why are you keeping it a secret?
If you understand magnets you know how magic works. Hell, even aerofoils seem like a glitch in reality.
Out of pure spite.
Does it, really? Or is it "magic" all the way down...? :-D
As someone else who was crazy about magic as a kid, I feel like that just made magic even more magical. Having an understanding of how magic tricks work lets you really appreciate the art and be truly wowed when you see a trick you can't figure out.
Yeah, for sure. To me, the intellectual and physical challenge is the magic.
What did you think of magic after you learned occultist techniques?
Of course magic isn't real. Magic occupies the border between reality and unreality, and is the mechanism by which effects cross it. Take money, for example. Not real, it's just a social assignment of value. Magic is what makes money have real effects on the world.
Nah, reality is bad
Oh yeah, for magic "tricks" that's fair:-).
You could still use it to cause squeals of delight from young'uns who don't know any better yet. So the utility is vastly diminished, but not entirely gone.
The dictionary disagrees with you.
The dictionary sucks.
Sorry, but higher literature (DnD rulebooks) disagree with YOU
This is Science Memes, not Fantasy Memes lol
That's because it's a dic.
