Actually, that's really simple, if you shear off unnecessary detail any educated person would know about.Obviously, before nanotechnology was sufficiently advanced, there was no such thing as the kids nowadays like to call 'MagIc' in their shorthand speech mannerisms. 'Magnifying Iconography', as some old geezers (like me) like to call it, is apparently too much to ask for. Now where does Magnifying Iconography come from, you ask?Well, it all began when 'SoodInMates' (Pseudo-Intelligent Matrices) were first successfully interfaced with the human brain. Since then people with the right kind of cortex nanomods have been able to turn their own body's and the surrounding environment's nanosphere into an extension of their personalized cortical infosphere. In other words, thought, especially visualized information, can be made to find expression in matter and energy: modifying the body or even the surrounding environment.Of course, not any kind of thought or idea can be allowed expression - not only would this be almost impossible to control enough for stable effects to materialize, it could also lead to massive, unintended side effects. Hence, Magnifying Iconography: a way to channel the user's thoughts and ideas into specific mental images, using prerendered matrices downloaded from a 'MagIc Tome', i.e. a library of many individual Magnifying Iconographies, nanocortical procedures designed to have a specific effect if called up. How many, how massive and which specific Magnifying Iconographies can be called up depends on the degree to which a person's brain is suffused with nanomods. This, in turn, is mostly a function of prior successful use of Magnifying Iconographies. There are persisting rumors that MagIc is addictive, but the truth is just this: the more you use, the more and the better you can use it, depending on individual nanomod outfit, and natural suitability of the brain in question.Technobabble? Yeah, sure, but what did you expect? "It's magic!" or some such nonsense? It's all really simple really, like most things are if you know a bit about them.</blockquote>
