Electricity from the combined perspective of science and magic. The idea of science and magic being a singular entity has been besieged by politics and misguided perceptions since its inception, save by those who earnestly practiced magic, alchemy, and astrology.
It's simpler to quote the oft paraphrased definition of magic:
"Magic is the highest most absolute and divine knowledge of natural philosophy advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right understanding of the inward and occult vertue of things, so that true agents being applied to proper patients, strange and admirable effects will thereby be produced; whence magicians are profound and diligent searchers into nature, they because of their skill know how to anticipate an effect which to the vulgar shall seem a miracle."
