It's what makes things hover in mid-air (magnetic levitation) or crystals glow (thermoluminescence). It's also what we mean by magick. Join Felix Flicker on an empirical adventure in condensed matter physics, the scientific mechanism behind the mysteries of alchemy, transmogrification, and much more. This is the one-stop guide on how to harness the enigmatic workings of the natural world to become a thoroughly modern wizard  aEng  aPhysics  aMatter  aCrystals914526  cBK  c141797d141797  00104070a01b01d2026-07-30l0o530 FLI-Mp153649r2026-07-30 14:40:47w2026-07-30yBK
