    Default Re: The Three Laws of Magic

    Okay, then what do we know about magic that isn't covered by the first two Laws?

    The first deals with the inherent relationship between Physics and Magic, that whilst Magic has a very basic founding in Physics, it completely supercedes the Laws of the other.

    The second deals with the apparently restricted range of usage for Magic based on population or "civilisation". You need so many punctures of high-frequency Incarnum in the universe's naturally-existing low-frequency Incarnum to get the reaction.

    So the first law is a fundamental law, the second is a requirement, perhaps the third should deal a natural fact of magic itself? Perhaps the chaos of its existence that allows it to violate Physics, or even better: The concentration dependent for it to affect the physical world without intervention.

    Any suggestions? The wording needs to be lamen enough to be basically understood, comprehensive enough to cover those bases, and concise enough to fit in with the length of the other two Laws.
