Yup!

[quote=@Gisk]Uh, fair point there. No fourth law but I stand by that Newton invented a lot of the math that magicians use to analyze their magic.[/quote]

Hey, I'm a huge geek and like sharing what I know. If it came across like a callout or [i]uhm, akshually[/i], I'm sorry; that wasn't my intent. My thought process began and ended at [url=https://media.makeameme.org/created/I-just-think-wmvgjj.jpg]"the laws of thermodynamics are neat"[/url].

[quote=@Gisk]I know magic is often the most interesting thing in a given setting, but I want to remind everyone that it's meant to be just background to an RP about a bunch of friends fucking around over the summer. It's fun to peak at it behind the curtain every once in a while, so I certainly won't put a stop to these discussions, but let's not get bogged down by details.[/quote]

Good to know I wasn't entirely off base :) What did you think of my character concept? The permalink seems to be misbehaving, so I'll reproduce it here:
[hider]As for me, I'm kind of leaning towards someone studying computer science. In the 90s, I think that'd put them in the math department... which is actually really interesting in a magical setting, I think. I'm debating a grad student, and if I go that route, they're going to TA a class called Elements of Algorithmic Spellcraft or something along those lines. If being a student there piques anyone's interest, lmk![/hider]
