hat comment about converting electricity from the nervous system into magic? I mean... These are sorcerers. You don't need to explain how they work. A sorcerer just did that. The only thing you'l achieve by trying to give a "scientific" explanation to the magic is attacks by angry fans who'l tell you how much research you didn't do... Just to be clear, I am not bugged about the scientific inaccuracies (that's a matter for another IJBM entry), I am bugged about the decision to put the science into the script in the first place where it was absolutely unnecessary and could only lead to trouble.

I have no issue with it. Too often the presence of magic is simply left as "something that can't be explained." I read an interesting short story once in which magic was essentially generated by damaging a portion of the magician's brain. Obviously this would limit the amount you could do in a lifetime, and would make you want to restrict the use to truly important things. I thought it was an interesting take on the concept.
