Chemistry animates stardust, into mirriad forms of life, explodes in great fireballs, heals, Kills, buffs but with fair tradeoffs, Melts through solid rock, drastically alter the properties of materials, and can even create that electricity we are so fond of. That being said, electricity and electronics are DEFINITELY wizard shit. We use two bits of iron that we don't entirely understand WHY their magic pull fields pull in the first place, spin them around really fast to create small bits of lighting that we harness with special materials and have it do math for us. To get it to do anything super interesting, like cast illusions, speak recorded words, or play back events captured by false eyes, we use math so complicated that it begins to resemble arcane runes and requires years of scholarly practice to understand and utilize by intelligent people that stereotypically wear long robes and spectacles and don't socialise well. Despite the complex nature of the stuff, the wizards can imbue the power of lightning into tools that can help our lives, like Sending Stones that they call "Pagers" and their more advanced versions, light-casting wands, wind-casting orbs, heat generators of all sorts, cold generators, self defense tools that just let loose bursts of the lightning, and even the complex mix of illusions, artificial thought, accessing a network of lightning conduits and thinking rocks, and artificial sense of touch, that I am presently using to type this message, called a "Tablet," like the carved stone tomes of old.

A book about the twenty most influential technologies of the 20th century mentioned that over half of those would be impossible without electricity: radio and TV, computers, phones, spacecraft (like GPS), Internet, imaging, lasers and fiber optics, etc

What sells it for me is that the word for teacher in Latin is "magister", it comes from Greek where they used "magicus" for magicians, healers, and sorcerers, it could have come from or gave the name to zoroastrian preists called "magi". Pharmacy came from a greek word for the use of drúgs, potions, or spells. Alchemy is the beginning of modern chemistry, and it comes to europe through greek teachers after they learned the stuff from persia and egypt. Advanced knowledge is passed down through teachers, and if teachers are magisters the teachings should be called magic. I understand that early scientists wanted to be distanced from charlitans, but I think it'd be cool if we started using some of the magic words for science again.

The summoning circle explained: 1] The angry oscilating pixies go from the AC supply into the transformer. 2] Here the potential difference changes based on the properties of said transformer (or stay the same, but either way they galvanically isolate). 3] Now they go into the FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER (you have to yell this), there they get tamed and will flow into a single direction (converting AC to DC) This is commonly used to turn angry power outlet pixies into safe phone charging pixies.

dont get me started on electromagnitism in the first place. Light is like, the single most insane thing in the universe. I could talk about light for hours but i raise you wave particle duality and leave it at that Actually, not quite. (Sorry, can't. Its too magical not to. Feel absolutely free not to read further but goddamn my inner nerd is triggered. Trust me this is interesting. I will not spellcheck this monster) While it is true that we can see with light, it is a very crude way of using electromagnitism to gather information about our world. The entire spectrum of light isn't violet to red. It starts with gamma rays in the short wavelength range and then gets longer and longer through xrays, ultra violet, visible light (violet to red), infrared, microwaves and radio waves in that order. Many people don't know that all of the above are the same "thing" but at different wavelengths. The reason all of these seemingly have different properties is because their differences in energy level, kind of make them function like keyes to different materials. The electron shells of atoms can be excited in very discrete energy levels. every wavelength corresponds to a given energy level, and every atom or molecule in the universe has its own descrete electron shell energy levels. You need the right wavelength to interact with the right electron shell of the right element or molecule. In doing so, we can find out what atmospheres of other planets are made of when they pass in front of their home star. We look into which specific wavelengths are missing from the stars full light spectrum, and given enough sensitivity we can tell you down to the exact ion which materials the atmosphere is made of. We can do that with emission spectrums (like those from stars) to learn what the light source is made up of, or absorption spectrums) to learn what the material blocking the light is made up of (dust, atmospheres, etc) Some wavelengths will just go around certain particles because they are too big. Some wavelengths get absorbed and then re-emitted. Some wavelengths bounce off of given materials. This is what ultimately gives light its properties irl. The reason some of the wavelengths are so damaging to us, is that at some point, they carry so much energy that they stop exciting atoms, and straight up rip their electrons off. Thats called ionising radiation and happens at long wavelengths. See how gamma, xrays and uv sit on the short wavelength spectrum, and are progressively less dangerous the longer the wavelengths get? this is the reason. Shorter wavelengths directly break DNA molecules. This increases your risk of cancer if it stays undetected by your body. The reason xrays go through bone is the same reason visible light goes through air or glass. Its the right wavelength for the right material. Xrays actually dont pass through air all that well, and if we could see them, the atmosphere would look foggy. The same way visible light doesn't pass through walls, but radio waves do, and uv light gets blocked by glass but visible light isn't. If it comes down to it, all of these behave exactly the same, depending on their compatibility with a given materials energy "key" And lastly: The reason we can even see visible light specifically is not random. Our atmosphere blocks most other light. Its a fog to most other wavelength. Only the visible spectrum, some parts of the infrared, and i think some parts of the microwave spectrum (dont quote me on that one) actually pass through unhindered. Our eyes simply evolved to detect the highest energy light out if these 3 dips, because you need less of it to see than if you tried to detect infrared, on account of IR having less energy. We could see just as well in IR, but we would need alot more IR light of a given source to see it. Actually one more thing: The reason things glow when they get hot is not because they pass a magical threshold to make it so. All objects glow all the time. However, glow is depending on the energy level of a given object. At ambient temperatures, most objects glow in infrared, which is why IR scopes work at night without a light source. everything is already glowing. If you heat it up, that glows wavelength gets shorter and shorter until it slowly creeps into the red, then orange, then white. It turns white eventually because things glow at a wide range of wavelengths, and by the time they get really hot, that curve covers all the visible light at once so we just see white. if things get hot enough they start glowing in xray or gamma rays. Which is why we can see astrophysical processes in these wavelengths and know exactly how hot they have to be. Vice versa, if things cool down they glow in longer "colder" wavelengths, which is why some gas clouds are good radio sources. One closing fun fact: All objects technically glow in all possible wavelengths at the same time, because of some quantum effects. However, the glow in most wavelengths is extremely weak and can be disregarded. A given objects glow is strongest in a specific range that is solely depending on its heat. This is why everything including humans, is slightly radioactive. Thats the explanation for the fun fact everyone always repeats. We are radioactive, because of the very negligible black body heat radiation comming off of our bodies. It's literally just light glow. Because every object in the universe glows at all wavelengths all the time. Again, just in negligible amounts. Ok actually one more what gives, if you made it here whats another sentence, eh? Light takes time to travel, so the further away we look, the further in the past we see. Because the universe expands, light gets "stretched" into longer and longer wavelengths the further away it originated from. If you want to look further, you need longer wavelength capable telescopes. (which is why webb is an infrared telescope to study the esrly universe and see what galaxies used to be made up of (remember higher up how thats done?)) If you go allvthe way into the microwave, we see the earliest light in the universe shortly after the big bang. We can look directly at the plasma soup that the universe was made up, studdy its flow, its magnetic properties, different pressure regions, polarisation etc, and compare that to how the universe looke closer to us, and see directly how galaxies and clusters evolved from that primordial soup. We can essentially see the entire universes life cycle by just studying light from further and further away, and watch it evolve live in front of our eyes. We can literally, physically see the universe as it was when it was very young. We can look directly at the plasma, because this information surrounds us in every direction we look. The cosmic microwave background radiation. CMB. Google, you will not be disappointed.

I've always wanted to be a wizard. Now I realize I really am.

Also, it is, technically speaking, the backbone of reality as we know it. From sight to touch, to the bonds between atoms and the transfering of heat, almost every physical interaction happens through electromagnetism in some way.

As an electrical mage who specializes in this area, I can partially confirm this. We research electricity in our ivory towers and embed rocks and other objects to harness this magic, but then it's off to the software sorcerers who enchant these objects with mystic incantations that make these objects run by themselves.

@@billybobjoephilcorncobtiptopge I don't know if that's neccisarily true. I think when we look at the origin of magic in literature it's purpose is more to service narrative variance. If you give your character the ability to control fire it's expected within the narrative all problems encountered can be solved with this ability, but the variance comes in how the ability is used as the system from the readers perspective isn't explained. This doesn't need to be constant though, for instance when communing with a spirit becomes your method of magic the reader and character may fully understand the system and yet still the system can introduce variance in the spirits motives. Baba Yaga/Hag types can be both fully understood and fully ambiguous in that the reader understands any problem caused or solved is a product of the magical system, and yet the motives of such a chaotic creature provides the variance.

For reference, that's around 1/50 the amperage it takes to run a coffee maker. Your body's internal resistance is about 300 ohms. 36 volts across 300 ohms = 120mA.
