I say that computers work because we tricked some rocks into thinking by carving special runes into them.

It's not that magic doesn't exist, it's just that our current spells and rituals are rudimentary.

I’d say it’s that the information on how it works is out there and not secret. If I want to turn lead into gold that knowledge is available to me, I just need access to a nuclear reactor and to learn a fuck ton of stuff.

Also the fact that it’s all very math dependent doesn’t help. The “when will I use this” subject is the biggest prerequisite to magic
