He says it as if it's a fact, not a hypothetical, not a guess. If earlier statements rankled Popp's pride as a mage.. "If it abides by studyable, enforceable laws, with outcomes that can be predicted based on those observations, then it's not 'magic'. If it cannot be studied, observed and acted upon ... it doesn't exist."
A final bun is snatched off the plate, held in his gloved palm. Wind of all things begins to gather in thin delicate nearly tangible wisps of air, swirling in a tight enough circle to lift the bun unsteadily off his palm in a tiny, tiny tornado. "This is science, as understandable and predictable as the nuclear fusion of the stars."
The currently steak-flavored bun bobbles in place, delicious and savory. It's not easy to keep it in one spot with an aero spell.
