Forums - General - Can we "invent" real magic?

Tagged games:

no, as long as you don't think that a wand with some technology implemented to do stuff like that is the same as using a wand which is only some wood or metal without any hidden technology.

No, "magic" means physically impossible.
If we would invent something similar to the Harry Potter stuff it wouldn't be magic.



Think about Nikola Tesla and all the things he invented, all was like magic back in the day, some are like magic even today. Internet is like a huge mind pool of comunication, which is a very magical concept as well.
So, yes, the more we understand nature, the more life will look magic.
By the way, a Nuclear Explosion is very much a Final Fantasy Ultima Weapon if you think about it.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Maybe for amateurs, but experts understand what they're doing. There's nothing supernatural for them.

See. This shit right here is why I was opposed to the legalization of marijuana. I have to have conversation like THIS and my job means I have to stay sober.

Tsk tsk, you need to research more d21lewis. Norwegians are clean as a whistle, ain't got marijuana here.

 

Unless you are referring to Kirby007, in which case I see your point. 

That's why I bought 2 grams today in Leknes lol

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I guess understand your point, but even though it looks a lot like magic, the simple fact that we created it would not qualify it as magic. but yes, we can someday conjure spells, but with a lot of science behind it, a lot.

Well, but that is the case for all magic. To those who pratice magic, it is a natural thing, the only supernatural stuff is what we do not understand.

I don´t think Gandalf says "Wow, that was spooky" everytime he casts a spell.

In the context of it´s lore, magicians do not do any unnatural stuff, they only manipulate very real (to them) aspects of nature, the creation and the Universe. Which is what science does in the real life too.
