The goal of this book is twofold: I want to
demonstrate that when we treat science as “magic” it is
just as, if not more, powerful than the magic we are
used to in 5e. The second objective is to try to make the
science more accessible to the public, removing it from
the context of academia with its splendour and
condescension. In the second task I have almost
certainly failed to some extent, in the first there is still
some hope. The reason for the potential failure is simply
that I am, by education, an astrophysicist. Thus many of
the spells here are focused on just that. There is no one
science that trumps them all and there are subjects I
simply didn’t feel qualified to make more than a basic
reference to.
If you find any of these spells interesting I urge you to
read more into their titles (Which I have tried my best to
keep accurate). There are many excellent science
educators out there dying to tell you everything about
their work but too often people don’t even know where
to begin. If this book serves as nothing more than a
jumping off point for you to find a new and interesting
part of science then I will be satisfied.

You create a shimmering wall of magic that appears

“F”. When a spell which deals damage passes through
the wall at an2 angle “S” its damage will be multiplied by
a factor cos (F-S) rounded to the nearest integer (i.e.
spells at right angles to F will deal zero damage while
spells cast at parallel to F will be unaffected). Spells
which cause targets to make a saving2 throw will have
their spell save DC reduced by 4*sin (F-S) rounded to
the nearest integer (right angles will have DC reduced
by 4, parallel will be unaffected). An Area of Effect spell

the spell’s point of impact and the target creature. Some
