Analogous to concepts from philosophy that become science once measurable, any magickal method that is shown to work becomes mundane
nostalgia for science: reminiscing about the huge machines we built, the coherence of our visions, the conviction that one could know
Some symbionts are incompatible - it is a complicated science to find just the right combinations and some paraethnicities form around that
