If science was magic, and mathematics was like, the arcane language of magic, going off the D&D schools of wizardry, which field of science would belong to which school?

For example
>psychology = illusion and enchantment
>geology = transmutation and abjuration
>physics = evocation and conjuration
>>
>>16870132
>conjuration
Arguably part of psychology. For example, "demons" can be thought of pathologic/malicious memetic structures and "evil" or "demonic" actions are done by victims possesses by these structures.

Fuck off schizo, this thread is for lighthearted fun and games not your fucking lack of medications
>>
>>16870135
I can see that. I might also put divination in with physics then. Or possibly economics. I was trying to spread things around but keep it somewhat intuitive.
>>
>>16870144
Fuck off and make your own stupid fucking thread about that off topic /x/ shit motherfucking schizo retard. Stop hijacking every fucking thread remotely associated with your fucking delusional bullshit.
>>
>>16870148
Its fucking off topic FUCK OFF.
>>
>>16870151
ITS OFF TOPIC.

FUCK OFF.
>>
GOD I FUCKING HATE you schizos so FUCKING MUCH. You wont let anyone have one FUCKING conversation without IRRESISTABLY dragging your STUPID BULLSHIT DELUSIONAL OBSESSION into EVERYTHING YOU ENCOUNTER
>>
>>16870153
nta, schizo here, and the most rationalist down to earth man you'll ever meet I believe in: nothing fucking at all
>>
>>16870132
>transmutation
i'd pose chemistry as being heavily related to that one
>>
>>16870398
chemistry was like OG from alchemists trying to turn whatever into gold I've heard countless times

>>16870160
And how much more magical is the wizard that transcends the wonder, mystery, and horror. Who wakes and refuses such a mistress. To be in wonder is to be enthralled and employed at her wiles, while the supreme sorcerer has no such meager dignity. And what is mystery but the cloak hiding well-earned disappointment, deserved I may add for those putting in their hours.
Many a Buddha veered from the one path, but even they knew the world as maya - ignorance, a veil of deceit. But they believe so long as they were pledged to a monastery and toiling to reject slavery and became slaves. And what horror is more cruel or strange, for wisdom to falter, to be so close and even fail to halt.
Chemistry is magic. Energy in is the energy out, such that no work is done or even possible. And the highest sorcerer lives with stillness and triumph like a philosopher chiseled in stone. A monastery in his own right, untainted by such ill likeness of misery.
All of this nothing before his greatest alchemy of turning wages to tendies. Yes, even here, in the circlejerk of pseud-scientism, the NEET finds supremacy yet again.

Science is not magic.
Magic is something outside the laws of nature.
E.g. the law of nature is gravity. A magic spell bypasses this law and lets you levitate.

And no this is not equivalent to some uber-advanced anti-gravity tech. Because that tech again will be based on the laws of nature, just a deeper understanding.

Magic draws its power from some other structure, outside the physical universe and its laws.
>>
>>
>>16870639
>Those are OUR laws. Magic doesn’t defy nature. An alien UFO is borderline magic to us because it defies OUR laws—OUR understanding. Not their’s. The alien pilot is a wizard to us. Magic is one sided. It’s always been the case. Magic has always been “magic”.
No it's not.
Assuming we had enough intelligence, they could eventually explain their tech.
That's the difference.
Science is based on logic.

Magic is not.
>>
>>16870642
Humans can't do magic anon.
Lmk when we can hurl fireballs with the power of sheer will and then we 'll talk.

You will enjoy my game. It's one to remember.

I'll have you know, it's better to be playing quality than to give everyone their fair time. However for a reasonable period I won't create an MMORPG and let people practice(for no reason). I will release an MMORPG later.

I have a brand.

It's three categories or any sub, sub sub or sub sub sub ^2. I specialize in action, fantasy and misc whimsical(sub sub). It doesn't mean I'll bring out many fantasy or FPS games. I will further brand myself. I see myself having a game come out every few years or so after a burst.

You will learn a lot from my programming either/or goto school it equal

No need to have a brand like me, this just a random template I made.

Ya, it's like why the fuck are you hounding around an ant hill. Don't you have something better to do that's more fun?

>Outside the currently understood* laws of nature
Is more correct. To an ancient person, a light, virtually unbreakable sword that's resistant to corrosion and almost never needs to be sharpened would be "magic". To us that's just an expensive sword forged with modern metallurgy.
To medieval people creating new viruses and diseases was "magic", and they often blamed witchcraft for this. Now any half-competent biochemist can do that in a lab easily, and we think nothing of it
If people hypothetically could levitate or conjure fire it would eventually become just as mundane as taking a flight to the other side of the world or using a lighter, and would be reclassified as "not magic". Then you would probably have to use more fantastical examples of "real magic" to distinguish it from just levitating

The three Maji were astronomers and political analysts.

Priests are just another form of politician. A more respected form of charlatan.

For me, it's the #3 Local (northbound).
Always has a schizo arguing with himself.
And losing.
Once he started making sense. I got off and walked home instead.
They never did find that bus.

>>16884911
And he probably reported all the deleted posts in this thread kek

It makes me laugh how wizards are seen as polar to scientists when the entire wizard aesthetic came from science
