Well, I always thought the point of magic was that it CAN'T be explained by science. That's why I always harp on fanta-tech in science fiction stories. It's also why I hated the IT'S REALLY SCI-FI plot twist in the Resident Evil series. Magic loses its character if it becomes too simply repeatable. It needs something extra, super-natural, really. Now, I DO agree that people WANT to believe in magic and that we eat that crap up. But I think authors should go out of their way to make magic unscientific and irrational. It's more fun that way. And I just lost all sense of whatever the hell I was trying to say because the phone rang twice while I was writing this. Fnord.
