    Dune as well.

    Warhammer 40k

    Yeah, there are a lot of examples out there.

      Tbf, in Dune all the “magic-y” bits get “scientific” explanations. I suppose you could argue the same with Star Wars and midichlorians.

        Most magic books have a magic system that seems to be backed up by sciencey like explanations for their universe.

        I can only think of a few that don’t, like Harry Potter.

          MTG books too, the magic sustains some kind of machinery or spell, so basically magic-based technology.

        i was thinking more some of episodes where they used magic, like the “old gods that predate the universe”

        dont think star trek fits. you probably mean the pah-wraiths trapped in the fire caves by the prophets. probably used some kind of advanced tech that is never explained in the series, that is beyond human understanding. more similar to ORI and milkyway/pegasus ascended beings, how they arnt aware of each other, is barred from entering the galaxy.
