I forgot to mention this before... but I really don't see how that is a contradiction to my statement.

In DC, magic just "has a price".
But here in the real world, magic follows structural laws.

It's all quantum. Blame young Stibbons, if you like.



As codified by Clarke's Third Law "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
The corollary of which is "Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology".

Or to put it another way, "Wizardry is a science like any other, although, admittedly, one with roots far deeper into the Nature of Things..."

And that is why you keep scrabbling for a win, and I am breeding flocks of them.
