And if you read the examples that I gave, you will see that people actually are suing for copyright infringement over wizard schools, people going back in time to fix things and post apocalypse journeys and in some cases getting money. So, while in theory, you can't copyright such things, at one time, you could only patent physical devices. Lawyers push the envelops all the time. The practice even has a name, a Novel legal theory.
