    Yeah, any time there’s a story where magic exists and there’s some kind of “magic vs. science” conflict, I think, “Magic IS science in that world, because it exists.”

      Oh I hate those kinds of conflicts. Magic, whatever force or mystical art it might be exploiting, would indeed just be science to that world.

      Science is merely a study of the things that exist in our reality. If different things exist in other realities, the study of those things will also just be science.

        That’s also why the concept of something being “supernatural” is nonsensical. If it exists, it’s part of the natural world, whether we understand its nature yet or not.
