    The difference between physics and magic is that physics works by describing the forces acting on a system. To predict an outcome, you just progressivly apply those forces over time.

    With magic, you just specify the outcome, but not how you get there.

    This is how we know that thermodynamics is magic. Conservation laws and Lagrangeans too.
