Last night at Magical Traditions: A Review, I posed the question of what is the relationship between real world magic and magic as portrayed in fantasy.

Starwolf had a response ready: "I only wish it were so easy... Swish-a-Flick!"

I think he may have a point, and further pondering leads me to the tentative conclusion that sufficiently poorly-written magic is indistinguishable from technology.
