So tell me about this magic you do. I really want to hear more. I saw that shield thing you made, but what other kinda stuff can you do? How does it work? How does Newtonian physics come into play? Matter cannot be created or destroyed and all.

	That is a lot of questions And they're loaded. Careful where you point those things (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Okay but one question at a time Take pity on me and my technological ineptitude (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, let's start there. Why the technological ineptitude? Do you have tech like this where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah we have it but wizards can't use it. Anything post world war 2 tends to fritz out around magic and that's without me trying (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huh. Do you know why that happens? Does magic interfere with something along the electromagnetic spectrum? Or maybe it creates it's own energy that's incompatible with the electromagnetism humans generate with the electricity we've been able to use for powering devices. What do you mean 'without me trying'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Magic interferes with how electricity or electronic devices work. How bad it gets depends on how complex something is and the amount of magic we're tossing around

Magic can permanently damage some devices too. A friend of mine once said it's like an extreme case of Murphy's law. We used to cause dairy products to spoil and warts and boils to appear on human skin too

I guess it's all about balance. And emotions. Humans are messy and it can make magic messy

	But that's not happening here. Huh. I wonder if it's-- no, it's almost absolutely a Dunwich thing. Okay. That shield thing you made. How's that work? Was it made of light? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Light wouldn't stop anything passing through it. A lot of it is energy and will based it'll be easier to wrap your head around if you keep that in mind (Reply to this) (Parent)
