I think you're going to need a lot of ad-hoc explanations for individual spells if you want to create a coherent system.I too enjoy magic which has some sort of explanation or basic premise, but I don't necessarily like it to be grounded in physics. My favorite magic explanation by far is Mage: the Ascension. There, you have a cosmological basis of reality which is very different from what we know - and from that, both physics and magic are fairly logically explained.</blockquote>
