Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fallen Seraph" data-source="post: 4838169" data-attributes="member: 57894">I like my magic to be its own field of study that is influenced by and is influences science. So while a Wizard or Sorcerer or what not may be able to conjure up their magical potential without knowing the inner science of how it interacts with the physical, scientific world it is likely they would become better or understand magic more by understanding science.Take for instance conjuring up a fireball. They can do it without knowing the science that influences it. But they would probably have more control over it if they did, in knowing that their magic causes strings to change their resonance to spawn the fireball out of nothing and such. At the same time to understand science a scientist would need to understand how magic influences it, so how does levitation spells influence gravity, how does lightning spells influence electro-magnetics.As for Psionics that fits more fitly within the science idea. I quite like my Pseudoscience especially when it comes to Psionics. As such while magic while influences/influenced by scientific principles it still exists outside of it. Psionics on the other hand is a science and uses scientific principles (at least in this world, in that Pseudoscience ideas are actual science).So yeah magic is mysterious and all, but with any good scientist, it can be if not completely but partly revealed and shown how it works. While Psionics is completely based around scientific principles, though like magic it can be done simply naturally but knowledge of how it works can focus a psionic-user.</blockquote>
