*Edward knocks on the door, half-expecting another weird episode. He has an armful of books with him.*

Hey, Hank? You in? I got my stuff, I can help you start putting your stuff back together again.

The Law of Equivalent Trade pretty much governs everything where I come from. At it's core is "in order to gain something, you must sacrifice something." *Edward smiles, although it's a sad smile.* It's a law I know all too well.

I suppose that the outside power source is a distinct possibility, but it still does not explain the ability to conjure things out of thin air. I need to get my hands on a magic user and quiz them on the uses of their magic - maybe the equivalency is something that one cannot see without a proper working knowledge of their ways?

::Hank's gaze goes distant for a moment::

Equivalent Trade sounds remarkably like one of Newton's Laws of Motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

If you do manage to elicit a scientific, or even regulated, basis for magic usage, would you let me know? I'm curious as well.
