If there was science to it, it would no longer be magic I think Marvel, where magic and science coexist, just says magic is a form of energy manipulation, and there have been cases where they can use science to manipulate magic. That's more of a 90s Valiant line of thinking, where magic is literally the manipulation of specific energy fields modern science simply has yet to discover. Marvel tends to operate more on the lines that magic is a distinct thing that can't really be quantified or defined, and which often flows directly from cosmically-powered godbeings who are the fundamental cornerstones of existence. Yes, magic can be treated like a science, and even understood like a science (and to some degree, the highest echelons of science can be treated like magic - see also, Hank Pym: Scientist Supreme), but there will always be some ineffable aspects of magic that can never truly be understood by mortals on any conscious level. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:903366003] in Should mag...
