So how does Marvel Magic work exactly?
A comprehensive, unifying, all-encompassing theory of Marvel Magic, that is.
I get how Dr Strange's magic works, I get how Thor's magic works, I get how Ghost Rider's magic works, but slotting them together in the same setting is tricky. They're kinda contradictory.

However the plot demands it to. It's very convenient for writers.

>>88960203
Thor's is represented as technology that's so advanced it might as well be magic. Doctor Strange's magic is manipulating the mystical energies of other realities. Ghost Rider kind of bridges the gap. His magic is a mystical energies from another reality, but it can be understood (to an extent) by human scientists and be combined with technology.

contradictory things happen when you're in a fictional universe that you can do anything you want in.

Anon I'm talking the comics not the MCU.
Asgardians use technology yes but they were literally created by imagination.

I feel like in general Marvel magic's most consistent aspect is "it works because it's Magic." Sort of a narrative thing when you think about it. It works because the story says it does. Or alternatively, doesn't work because of the story.

>>88960800
I can get that but there are specific internally-consistent mechanics to the various subdivisions. It's a lot more structured than say DC, where you can do whateverthefuck whereverthefuck wheneverthefuck.

I'm gonna need some elaboration on that one.
There was even an arc where scientists kidnapped him and couldn't figure shit out.
And by combined with tech do you just mean the Ghosting up vehicles? Because that's a relatively recent thing, the OG's cycle would be conjured out of thin air and Ketch's cycle was literally the source of his powers.

Vertigo had it easier.

Vertigo magic is in another level of stupid shit, it's the reason i could barely enjoy fables.
