FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIAH!!
eyebrow dance
it gender transitions the AC to DC
And generates heat!
so, from bi to either gay or straight, unless it passes an inverter, then becomes bi again
Lightning would be wild magic
Paraphrasing Arthur C. Clarke: Any technology is indistinguishable from magic, to the sufficiently ignorant.
It’s chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.
Also, that’s a control spell, not a summoning one.
Listen here witch!!
I was really hoping someone would catch this. I’m glad someone else was also paying attention in biology
You think a rectified transformer is a magic circle? Get a load of the Smith Chart
That summoning circle is gonna need some filtering… Jus sayin…
Um akshually, that’s a rectification circle.
For me, the weirdest thing is that when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion; this results in the particle tracing out a curved path through the field. Like … what the actual fuck? Why in hell would the universe be this way?
That’s… huh…
Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???
(Unless you’re a physicist, in which case… fuck)
I mean, imagine if friction worked like this. You’d push a heavy object … and it would move to the left (or maybe the right?) like it was on ice.
FWIW I do have a Physics undergraduate degree. It doesn’t help in this case.
Well, shit hahaha but yeah, that would be weird as hell. I bet it has something to do with how electrons get aligned, but… I don’t know much beyond electrons moving between their shells
Why in hell would the universe be this way?
Bcz it’s a simulation, or god is fucking with us. Who knows which one it is 🤷♀️
RF engineer here, living the life of magic in the air and space!
Yeah but it’s too realistic, I want something convenient! Let me read one book and gain the power to create floating ice! Not read like 5 giant books and stufy for years so that I can create a microwave 😔
No shade to microwaves, one of my favorite magic items
Hello every wizard protagonist in every fantasy YA novel ever.
It’s the motive force! Not some heretical warp magic.
But the summoning circle doesn’t do anything on its own, you have to build it and then go and find the electricity to plug into it yourself
Pretty sure that’s how it works in a lot of fiction. You draw the circle then activate it by putting in mana.
Many summoning circles require a sacrifice, and this one is no different. This one requires a sacrifice of AC to summon DC.
While I fully agree, I thought the distinction was unbreakable rules.
The laws of physics can’t be broken, even, under any circumstances, everywhere, at any time.
Whereas magic is more like there is an exception to every rule kind of deal. It’s far more like software, as in it’s mostly fully logically consistent except for random spots where devs took some shortcuts to make life easier.
