| May 5, 2022 at 16:41 | comment | added | Goodies | "for example an actual laser beam would never instantly vaporize things in real life" I would not be so sure about that statement. It depends on the power of your laser and the size of the target.. and some substances are much easier to evaporate than other substances. Humans are >60% water which makes our body quite vulnerable for high energy laser beams ! | |

| Nov 24, 2019 at 0:34 | comment | added | Gene | Any naturally occurring particle with effects like you describe is going to seriously stretch even "science-based." If you really want to stick to basing your magic on science, I might suggest going the "sufficiently advanced science" route. In this scenario the magic particles are really nanotech or femtotech machines left over from some ancient ultra advanced civilization. They were created to provide near limitless ambient powers for their users, and continue to function for those that have learned to interact with them. | |

| Nov 22, 2019 at 19:21 | comment | added | SquarD4RYC | sure, but having something work "just because it does", is kind of boring, at least in my opinion. | |
| Nov 22, 2019 at 19:10 | comment | added | Halfthawed | Magic, generally speaking, is something which cannot be defined or explained. I would advise you not to do this, as it would no longer be a magic system so much as a unique type of matter with special properties. Ideally, this 'magic particle' should defy explanation - after all, it's magic. | |
