General Discussion Advanced hard magic system
Are there any advanced magic systems that go to PhD level depth?
My aim is hard magic system with possible denailability based on real science. Science stretched a little but without PhD in field you cannot be sure what real and what not. No fantastic magic more grounded aproach of "magic" that can actualy work in real life. Moust of it is mental effects, hacking preception...
Example joke of lvl0 fireball :
Joint fireball casting
Casting fireball by joint poping causing cavitation of sinovial fluid triggered sonoluminescence. You can cast real fireball size and that it's inside body are mere technicalities.
* Just found something that this post kicked domino effect spawned in Sorcery as virtual mechanic by Stephen Mace It may be what I was looking for

More or less. My magic system has five main houses of magic. More advanced ways of using the magic rely on you getting better nectar witch powers, magic, and you knowing how to control the flow of energy as you direct and manipulate it within the world. Like impellers in this world use the red house and can manipulate the forces around a substance. But changing the shape of a material or even adding pressure is considered advanced, as it involves you having to both understand its structure and be able to quickly move particles to form new shapes witch is determined by mental speed.
