Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

For a [[The Verse|verse]] where [[Magic A Is Magic A]], this is an inherently [[Justified Trope]] just as long as it makes sense for the culture: Empirical evidence and experimentation are the cornerstone of [[The Scientific Method]], and there is no reason that it should be any less effective at discovering the details of a self-consistent series of rules just because it's called "magic" rather than "physics".

One of the many sides arguing over [[Un-Equal Rites]]. Contrast with [[Magic Versus Science]] where this attitude belongs only to the scientists, and [[Flat Earth Atheist]], where fans of "science" will loudly [[Science Cannot Comprehend Phlebotinum|deny magic exists rather than accept empirical evidence]]. Not quite related to [[Magitek]] or [[Post-Modern Magik]] but may show up alongside either or cause them. Compare to [[Doing In the Wizard]], [[Doing In the Scientist]], and [[Sufficiently Advanced ~~Aliens~~]].

A subtrope of [[Fantastic Science]]. Compare and contrast [[The Spark of Genius]]. For the sake of general cohesion, anything that more or less works thanks to magic but isn't actually [[Magic by Any Other Name|called "magic"]] by anyone in the work falls under this trope.
