User blog comment:TheNewProtagonist/Dust is actually kinda dumb./@comment-13616152-20130814022925/@comment-4773581-20130814035407

It's also almost like you don't bother to listen to the reasons as to why you're wrong after you see someone doesn't agree with you.

Also, your logic for this line of thought is simply incredibly stupid. Your definition of magic, as understood by this blog, is "a nondescript and fairly undefined supernatural power that has no explanation other than being itself". In several different series magic actually has been explained in incredible detail, within logic, reasoning, and even the current boundaries of science (though when this is applicable there's usually super-powerful and extremely-difficult-to-cast spells that work by breaking said boundaries). Moreover, you're holding this definition to dust as if there has been ample time to exposit, completely ignoring the fact that we're barely even a normal episode's worth of time into the series. Do you honestly expect a show to spend its entire first episode expositing on the world/universe it takes place in?

I mean, I could probably make some reasonable explanations for the very low-key magic spells that you often see that made sense and stayed within science's boundaries, pardoning the use of mana and/or energies derived from said mana. Fireballs (and, by extension, most fire spells), are essentially nothing more than mana/subsidiary energies being gathered, ignited by a spark (which could either come from an outside source or by rapidly vibrating molecules at the core of the gathered mana/subsidiary energy to create enough heat to ignite the mana/subsidiary energy), and then continuously fed to the flame to keep it burning while you do whatever you're going to use the flame for (in the case of fireball, long enough for it to hit something).

Ta-da. I have just disproved the notion that magic is, quoting you, a "supernatural force that cannot be explained by science, logic or reasoning" by explaining it with science, logic, and reasoning.
