Personally, I never saw magic as a fundamental force in the physical world; instead, I always looked at magic as a sort of metaphysical study, taking the basis of classical physics, bending their laws, and creating effects that one would normally see as "unreal."  Using the universal biokinetic energies of things within the Multiverse to create desired effect, so to speak...

I really like that. But I definately have to admit that you have outphysicsed me... ( i know that isn't a word). tell me if i am following this. you are basically saying that magic bends existing physics to create "unreal" effects or it is a complete substitute for physics and just has similar properties but is more flexible?

I would say that magic is bending the rules of physics, rather than a complete substitute for physics... However, in a case where magic is present (Such as a Bag of Holding) you can't rely on the normal laws of physics unless you have a complete knowledge of the spell and how it works...
