@Geo Very interesting, I never thought of that interpretation before. But it kinda makes more sense. For example, in fantasy, magic is often depicted to be closely associated with areas where it is teaming with some forms of biological life, and people tend to talk about souls, spirits etc. when talking about magic in both the fantasy stories and also in real life folklore

So perhaps magic is some component or intertwined with biological and spiritual life, more than some unplottable laws of physics
