I just don't like the idea.As for explaining magic with science, of course it's silly. Our real-life science doesn't have anything to do with the natural and magical phenomenons of a made-up, fantasy world. There are similarities, because we all need a point in which to anchor our imagination (ie gravity, sun rises sun sets, inertia, reproduction, etc.).As for your examples, create water is conjured water from the elemental plane of water (for example), that's a reasonable, scientific explanation, since in that world, the elemental plane of water is real, and there are ways to establish conduits between it and our plane. For air walk, maybe our mass is shifted to the astral plane. For fly, same explanation, but the spell also confers you some telekinetic power over your now weightless body. Of course these explanations don't make sense in the real world, but they very could do in the basic D&D world we all know and love.Slim</blockquote>
