Hmm, there’s lots of ways this could be done 🤔 if we were to take a more scientific approach, we could help explain magick through the electricity in our bodies being a conduit for such manifestations. Perhaps certain individuals are able to manipulate this energy differently, perhaps their bodies produce it abnormally.

There’s this GDV bio-well camera that is able to measure our body’s energy field, our “aura” - take phsycial pictures of it - and I always found the research of explaining such spiritual things in a scientific way to be fascinating

In one of the stories I wrote, my explanation for magick is similar to the first theory I mentioned with the exception of the human/beastman soul being the fuel from which this power is manipulated

Or even the anime Naruto. They explained how when the body’s energy and the spirit’s energy combine in the right way, it creates chi which is then formed through hand seals into something phsycial.

The possibilities for having reason behind this are endless. I mean, it doesn’t even need to be something we have in our universe, just as long as it makes sense, even in a wildly unlikely way, it just makes the story feel fuller 🙂

I really liked your reply! I think that in most media, when they settle some magic system, or rather than using the word "magic" would be the power system they use, if its well explained within their universe laws during different parts, I always get the feeling of "oh, it makes sense!" and decide wether I like it or not, so i think it can make sense or logical/accurate within that universe's laws and i'd be satisfied with it.

I remember someone told me about the phoenix wright x professor layton game, and i was like, how does that even works if its magic, how would they explain that?

And they explained that, for example in some cases they would say: no! he's not the culprit because they used this enchantment from this book, but you actually needed X ingredients and context but this person is using Y and Z so its a different spell!!

and again, i was like oh! it makes sense, its logical, but within that universe of course heheheh

I definitely think i can see where Cale_82 is coming from, So again, i think for this case would rather be "power system", thank you for helping me clarifying! ☝️🥸

Precisely 😊 so long as there’s some type of reasoning behind it, no matter how obscure 🙂
