Doing In the Wizard	comment	Removing a relatively poetic or mystical element (or possibility) and replacing it by way of retcon with a more "realistic" one, in a revision, sequel or other adaptation, or occasionally even just later in the same story. This is pretty common in a fantasy-to-Science Fiction situation, probably because the two aren't too different in the outcome produced — a magical invisibility ring vs. a technological cloaking device are functionally the same. However, it tends to disgruntle fans of the original, especially when the explanation is less satisfying than the mystery. Amusingly, if the answer is in technobabble, its "reality quotient" is just as silly as the initial explanation, even if certain anti-magic Moral Guardians may like technobabble better. It can also demand a whole sequence of coincidental oddities, which (as observed by Aristotle) just makes it less convincing. Another problem this trope might encounter is that, while fans only expect magic to have the same effect while used in the same way, the audience may be less willing to suspend disbelief when converted into hard science, unless it is prefaced with some kind of pseudoscientific material specifically stated not to follow standard physics (of course, doing this still keeps the stuff technically magic, just not, you know, magic). When this is an External Retcon to an ancient mythology rather than the franchise's own mythos, it is called Demythification. Compare and contrast with How Unscientific!, as well as Unscientific Science (when the "scientific" explanation is just as nonsensical as the magical one, or even more so). See also Sufficiently Advanced Alien, The Magic Goes Away, Magic Versus Science, and Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. Also compare Clarke's Third Law, which explains how the unexperienced could see technology and science as a form of magic. May overlap with All Just a Dream, Through the Eyes of Madness, and Lotus-Eater Machine, if used to reveal that the removed supernatural only existed in a character's mind; and "Scooby-Doo" Hoax and Masquerade, if it is revealed that the supernatural never existed but was faked by someone, or some group working to some end. Contrast Magic A Is Magic A and The Magic Comes Back. Has nothing to do with the execution of magic users, or with targeting them in combat situations. The full inversion of this trope is a trope unto itself, Doing in the Scientist.

Doing In the Wizard / int_112decbc	comment	Planet of the Apes series: In the source novel Planet of the Apes, the titular planet is a different one, 300 light years away from Earth, and humans and apes identical to those of Earth just came to exist there, 10,000 years ahead of schedule at most. In the films, the planet (famously) is Earth All Along. Neither the novel nor Planet of the Apes (1968) explain how humans lost their intelligence and speech and apes gained theirs; the former simply 'degenerated' and the latter 'evolved'. The sequels Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes show that the apes were trained and altered by the humans in some way to serve them as slaves before the apes rebelled, ambiguously helped by their leader Caesar being an already Uplifted Animal from the future brought in by a Stable Time Loop. The apes are portrayed as a bit of a Hive Mind, with Caesar claiming that the next day the apes "in all five continents" will imitate his group and also rise against humanity. But the mental fall of humanity is still unexplained, and is still yet to happen even after the nuclear war prophesized since the first film takes place between Conquest and Battle for the Planet of the Apes. In the Planet of the Apes (2001) failed reboot, the apes were genetically altered by humans to help them in space exploration, then Turned Against Their Masters. The humans never lost their intelligence and speech, but the apes wound up more technologically advanced, persecuted and enslaved the humans. In the second rebooted continuity starting with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the apes become intelligent and learn to talk after being exposed to an artificial virus designed by the humans as a failed cure for Alzheimer's disease... which coincidentally also kills most humans exposed to it. Then, another variant of the virus appears in War for the Planet of the Apes that doesn't kill the humans, but makes them mute. The villainous Col. McCullough thinks it also takes away the infected's intelligence, but this is ambiguous.

However, he does this by performing genuine miracles and drawing out real magical potential in human girls so he can collect energy generated by emotions; none of these are governed by thermodynamics or any kind of science and that's why they suit Kyubey's purpose. A rare case of also counting as Doing in the Scientist.

They were created to resemble demons because the aliens had last reconnoitered Earth during The Middle Ages. Fly was raised Roman Catholic and knows that man-made weapons shouldn't be able to destroy real demons. Some monsters have organic weaponry and others have cybernetic weapons installed. Not that it makes them any less deadly.

Doing In the Wizard / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Online: At the end of the Fek'Ihri arc in the Klingon campaign, your science officer suggests after the fact that the battle in Gre'thor, the Klingon version of Hell may have been All Just a Dream and that the Fek'Ihri, The Legions of Hell, were created by biotech, possibly by the Abusive Precursors, the Hur'q. Nothing came of this... until the Victory is Life expansion, years later, which revealed the Fek'Ihri are biotech creations — specifically, Dominion biotech; they are a renegade precursor to the Jem'Hadar designed to look like Klingon myths and based on Hur'q biology. Similarly, in the Federation campaign, there's an adventure that has you fighting ghosts in a spooky basement. Turns out the ghosts are just aliens who are only partially phased into this reality, plus one malfunctioning hologram. They're still dangerous, just not supernatural.

Doing In the Wizard / int_17415b19	comment	Star Ocean: This always happens in the games — The natives of a planet will use magical terms to describe a villain or phenomenon, any alien or member of The Federation who is in the party will have a technobabble explanation for them. The funny thing is how the natives in the party more or less ignore these. So very egregious in Star Ocean: The Second Story, where main character Claude is well-acquainted with science and technology, and tries to explain certain things away in scientific terms, only to fail miserably. He gets better as time goes on (i.e. he learns to stop questioning everything and just accept that he's not that smart.) However, the wizard finally gets done in once and for all in the third game, where it turns out that their entire universe is a computer game and the "magic" is just computer code that temporarily overwrites the physics engine. That the code works outside the game is hand waved by saying that the parents of the protagonists created a special kind of science/magic/code that would make their special powers work outside their VR world. In other words, they cast a spell to make magic work in a world with no magic to make spells work. Star Ocean 3 is A.I. Is a Crapshoot written from the other side.

In the original, the title character was a human augmented by mystical means and powered by a magical artifact called the Gi-Gi Armlet, which if removed would kill him. In the rebooted series, all Amazons (or Amazonz) are just people implanted with parasitic and cannibalistic cells only held back by an armlet that injects them with a pacification chemical...that looks EXACTLY like the originals Gigi Armlet...only edge-y.

In the games and most continuities, they're treated as a set of legendary magical gemstones, with official sources even stating that the Master Emerald was created by the gods. The comic explained that the Chaos Emeralds arrived from space to land on Mobius and apparently gained their powers through being irriadiated by the Xorda aliens' gene bombs (this backstory was deliberately ignored by later writer Ian Flynn, who wanted to preserve their mysticism).

Doing In the Wizard / int_1a12bbee	comment	The Mighty Thor: There was a period when Thor and his fellow Asgardians were actually Sufficiently Advanced Aliens whose exploits inspired Norse Mythology, but who weren't actually gods. This has since been completely ignored. The official Marvel explanation is that the Norse gods (and all the other pantheons) are extradimensional. That use magic. And technology. The film also makes the claim that magic and science are in fact one and the same (or at least have been integrated so well by the Asgardians that the difference is somewhat semantic for them). The other official Marvel explanation is that they're a living story dreamt up by humanity. This is also one of the oldest (first mentioned in an 80s Thor annual but not really followed up upon) and the most modern explanation (explicitly in use since JMS's Thor). Earth X attempts to create a coherent Meta Origin for the various superpowered races in the Marvel Universe such as Asgardians, Mutants, Eternals and Inhumans. When it comes to the Asgardians, The Watcher states that they were merely a race of ancient alien shapeshifters that were forced into the forms of Norse deities, because that's what the Norse thought they were.

Doing In the Wizard / int_1a1574e6	comment	The fourth season, however, notably averts this. Not only is there a Ghost Rider who is explicitly magical (even though no one believes him), there are ghosts created by a Tome of Eldritch Lore who can curse people with a touch. The scientists repeatedly fail to come up with non-magical explanations, but they do find non-magical solutions. The message is that even if magic itself is beyond the realm of science, its effects are parallel the norm enough that they can be accounted for by mundane means.

Doing In the Wizard / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Used halfway in Might and Magic. The universe never attempted to explain away the magic spells or the elves and such. On the other hand, it is implied that all the gods are only Sufficiently Advanced Aliens and the demons and devils (called Kreegans by themselves) are also aliens, who invade worlds through meteors (they extinguished the halflings (hobbits) this way). There's a significant amount of lost technology behind every plot. Although, there are also actual demons which look almost identical to said Kreegans. They are only seen in Heroes Chronicles: Conquest of the Underworld. However, there is nothing particularly magical about those, considering that a completely human army can go into the Underworld freely. These demons seem to be nothing more than native species that live in that particular area, while the identical looks can be explained by Heroes Chronicles using the same engine and sprites as Heroes of Might and Magic III.

Doing In the Wizard / int_22147342	comment	Arrow zig-zags this trope constantly. In the beginning, the show would allude to superheroes like The Flash, Superman, etc. but Word of God said that they planned on keeping the series realistic, taking all superpowers and aliens out of the equation. Then that went out on Season 2, with the introduction of The Flash and finally granting Deathstroke his powers. Solomon Grundy is a normal guy who becomes mutated by a Super Serum. In the comics, he was a zombie who was resurrected by supernatural means. Most superpowers are explained as a result of the particle accelerator explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs, caused by a meta-human from the distant future in an attempt to find a way back, but that also goes out the window when it's revealed there are metahumans who were nowhere near the explosion, the Lazarus Pit appears in season 3, and the existence of magic is recognized in Season 4 when John Constantine shows up. It goes even farther out the window with the addition of Vixen (magic), Legends of Tomorrow (time travel, immortality, reincarnation), and Supergirl (aliens are real in another reality) to the Arrowverse. Oh, and aliens then go ahead and invade Earth-1 anyway.

Doing In the Wizard / int_2268de37	comment	Zig-zagged in Grimm with some of the powers of the Wesen. For example, the Grimms' ability to see Wesen is, apparently, explained by them having more cones in their eyes (i.e. they have a broader visual spectrum). Then completely averted with some creatures who are not Wesen but are just plain supernatural (such as a ghost lady, a volcano being, or a Golem). There is also no attempt to explain the telekinesis and spells of the Hexenbiests. The final season throws that completely out the window, with Nick actually travelling to Wesen Hell and meeting the Wesen Devil. Oh, and in the final fight, he fights side-by-side with his dead mom and aunt and then magically jumps back to a few days before.

Doing In the Wizard / int_22e860f4	comment	Psych: Every single episode of the show with a Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane element lands squarely in the 'Mundane' category, with any and all fantastical elements explained as being either the result of misinterpretation of evidence or a flat-out "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. For instance: Season 1's "Who You Gonna Call?" is about a client of Shaun's believeing they're haunted, with inexplicable things happening throughout the episode. It turns out that the client had dissasociative identity disorder; one of the alternate personalities was a trans woman, the other was a muderous psychopath trying to prevent the second personality from transitioning. Season 4's "Let's Get Hairy" has the client of the week believe that they're a werewolf. They were being gaslit by his psychologist, who's trying to frame him for murder. Season 6's "Heeeeeres Lassie" is a massive Homage to The Shining, and has Lassiter fly into a murderous rage, blood dripping from light fixtures, and another apparent haunting. a serial killer is targeting inhabitants of a specific apartment, giving it a reputation for being haunted.

Doing In the Wizard / int_25f6f1a0	comment	A weirdly inverted version in Umineko: When They Cry: While the witches and their magic seem to be blatantly real, if Battler can explain all the deaths away as the work of normal humans, he'll Do In The Wizard and Retcon them away. While it's never stated whether everything is magic or mundane, it's still eventually made clear that from a mundane perspective, the "magical" characters aren't real at all; they're either meant to be symbolic or the product of a human character's imagination. There's also "Our Confession", a side material that shows how Yasu used trickery and bribery to commit the murders. To put it simply (which is not easy, since the story of the series is wrapped up in about five layers of meta-narratives): There is actually not "magic" in the setting. The actual events on Rokkenjima all happened without any supernatural influence and were committed by Yasu, Kyrie and Rudolf. All the Episodes of the visual novel are in-universe fiction written by Yasu (Ep 1-2) and Battler (Ep 3-6), with only the "present time" parts with Ange taking place in reality (unless they also involve magic... it is pretty complicated). Battler's struggle with Beato, the witches and other supernatural entities thorough the episodes is in practice nothing more than a clash between looking for the truth (the mystery perspective, finding the ultimate culprit and their motives) versus surrendering to deception (the fantasy perspective, accepting magic and giving up the search for clues and motives in order to protect oneself from accusing their loved ones). One could even say Umineko is one gigantic allegory for solving the core mystery, and doing in the different magical characters is about defeating the mysteries/obstacles they embody.

Doing In the Wizard / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: The page quote is from the episode "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)", where this trope is parodied. Homer's visit to the spirit world is actually a hallucination induced by excesive ingestion of chili peppers, and he recognizes the objects around as the real inspiration of those he met in the spirit world. The trope is parodied again in "Don't Fear the Roofer". Homer makes a new friend, a roofer named Ray, that no one else can see. After being hospitalized and treated with electroshock, it turns out that Ray is indeed real and that people could not see him because he was coincidentally hidden from their POV. When Bart points that he still saw Homer talking to nobody while in the open, Stephen Hawking randomly enters and explains that Bart's vision was coincidentally obscured by a brief mini-black hole forming between him and Ray.

Fortune has luck-based powers that cause every shot fired against her to miss (Hint: Don't stand next to her). It then explains much later that she merely has a "sufficiently advanced" bit of technology (that she didn't know about) which makes her Immune to Bullets. This is demonstrated by the owner of the device shooting her in the chest, proving he controls the device and she is powerless. Shortly after this he tries shooting rockets at her, and she deflects them with her mind. note She is also revealed to have survived the aforementioned chest wound because of a rare birth defect that put her heart on the right side of her body, suggesting that her luck-based abilities sometimes work in more subtle ways.

Doing In the Wizard / int_2675c915	comment	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In the original Secret Warriors comics, Hellfire's powers were supernatural in nature, and were the result of him being a descendant of Carter Slade, the original Ghost Rider. In the series, Hellfire is simply an Inhuman. The fourth season, however, notably averts this. Not only is there a Ghost Rider who is explicitly magical (even though no one believes him), there are ghosts created by a Tome of Eldritch Lore who can curse people with a touch. The scientists repeatedly fail to come up with non-magical explanations, but they do find non-magical solutions. The message is that even if magic itself is beyond the realm of science, its effects are parallel the norm enough that they can be accounted for by mundane means.

The third Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes, also gets his power from the Scarab, but about seven issues in, it's revealed to actually be a long-lost bit of Imported Alien Phlebotinum. Justified in that the alien race behind it, the Reach, have disguised many of their plans and weapons as "magic" so that no one would ask questions. And of course, since this is The DCU, nobody denies that magic exists; in fact, Garret used magic to activate his, since it was broken when he first got it. This was inverted in DC Rebirth, which seems to have decided it really IS magic, after all.

Nope, some 300 chapters after the Curse Seals were introduced it's revealed that they were actually developed by extracting a special enzyme from Juugo, and the power does not come directly from the Curse Seals, it's rather that the enzyme allowed Juugo to absorb energy from the surrounding nature and attain a kind of Sage Mode transformation.

An infection from beyond the stars that defies human comprehension—something completely alien to human sensibilities and sensitivities. It appears mysteriously on a derelict spaceship with no explanation and no backstory, and it exists only to spread and cover the universe in secreted resin, like a biological Grey Goo apocalypse. Flash-forward to Prometheus and Covenant, and it's retconned that a crazy robot with a god complex caused by his daddy issues took bits of animal DNA and glued them together with black goo created as a bioweapon by nine foot tall blue people who want to kill humanity because we executed their comrade, Jesus Christ. And no, that's not a cry of exasperation; according to the director himself, Jesus Christ was part of the alien race that created the xenomorphs.

Doing In the Wizard / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: When Dragon Ball gave way to Dragon Ball Z, the stories took on more of a sci-fi tone. Goku's previously inexplicable talents (and his tail) were retconned as the product of his alien biology. Him transforming into a giant monkey after looking at the full moon was given a delightfully preposterous "explanation" in terms of electromagnetic waves and hormones. Even Kami, who was for all practical purposes a god, was demoted to a strange visitor from yet another planet. Nevertheless, there were still plenty of fantasy elements, and the sci-fi aspect was downplayed in later stories. In a 2017 interview, during the airing of Dragon Ball Super, Akira Toriyama did this to the Super Saiyan transformation as well, removing the mystical qualities and revealing the genetics behind it. According to him, it all comes down to something called "S-Cells" that all Saiyans naturally possess, but which are fostered by things that the average Saiyan would never achieve, like a calm heart and high fighting power. Goku was essentially the perfect combination of power, environment, and temperament to achieve Super Saiyan, which Gohan, Goten and Trunks also benefit from thanks to a relaxed lifestyle on Earth (in addition to their parentage). More high-strung characters however like Vegeta and Broly find the form much more difficult to accomplish, and no Saiyan from the time of Planet Vegeta ever canonically accomplished it.

The sequels Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes show that the apes were trained and altered by the humans in some way to serve them as slaves before the apes rebelled, ambiguously helped by their leader Caesar being an already Uplifted Animal from the future brought in by a Stable Time Loop. The apes are portrayed as a bit of a Hive Mind, with Caesar claiming that the next day the apes "in all five continents" will imitate his group and also rise against humanity. But the mental fall of humanity is still unexplained, and is still yet to happen even after the nuclear war prophesized since the first film takes place between Conquest and Battle for the Planet of the Apes.

Doing In the Wizard / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV has an In-Universe example. The Monks travel the world looking places of great energy with which to open their own Chakras and grow stronger. One character in the Monk job quests is a scientist who condescendingly insists this is actually just garden-variety aetherial manipulation (the same energy source many other disciplines tap into) and he can even pinpoint the locations the monks seek. He's actually completely correct, and with enough data can explain how the two sets of nomenclature line up and exactly where a monk could go to open the seventh chakra. He's just such a loquacious asshole about it he can't explain his conclusions to an actual Monk without the Player Character acting as a go-between.

Doing In the Wizard / int_4c56381b	comment	The final ending of The Binding of Isaac strips away any of the vague religious magic with one final Once More, with Clarity sequence; literally everything is a Dying Dream of Isaac's as he suffers a slow, mundane death of asphyxiation in an old chest filled with family mementos. No god, no devil, even his mother trying to kill him after being commanded by God was all in his head. Repentance replaced this with the different, though still totally mundane explanation that the whole game is just Isaac playing a very dark game of make-believe, though Word of God implies that it's not quite that simple.

Doing In the Wizard / int_4dd54482	comment	Ben 10: Alien Force. Gwen's magical powers are explained as alien powers inherited from her alien grandmother. The episode with this revelation goes on to say that there is no such thing as magic, despite previous episodes and the prior series having things such as spells read from incantations, a fountain of youth, and soul-swapping. Oh, and what powers Gwen's abilities according to the same episode? Mana. Then Word of God claims that both Hex and Charmcaster are in fact magic users. Maybe coming from another dimension has something to do with it... The next installment, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, makes it clear that "magic" and "mana" are just two different terms for the same thing. Gwen's half-Anodite heritage just makes her really good at raw magic usage - Anodites are Energy Beings made of the stuff - but its entirely possible for humans like Charmcaster and her people to use it too, with a bit more effort, and use it in more creative ways thanks to the development of different spells and such. Spellbooks naturally make their return around this same time, but whether this all was a case of Unreliable Narrator muddling things up (the character who said magic isn't real had never dealt with magic of non-alien origin before) or an Author's Saving Throw is up in the air.

Doing In the Wizard / int_52dd4a4c	comment	Ultimate Marvel is a grounded and realistic reimagination of classic Marvel characters. There is magic in the setting, but not to the outlandish degrees of 616, and is always met with skepticism. Most characters who have magic in their backstories do not have it here. In 616, mutants are the product of the Celestials messing with the human evolutionary process a million of years in the past. Here, the mutant genome was created in a lab by Weapon X around the time of World War 2. In addition to the radioactive spider, Spider-Man got his powers because of a "Spider totem" thing (long story). None of that is ever mentioned in Ultimate Spider-Man. The mainstream version of Black Knight is a mystical knight with an enchanted sword from the time of King Arthur. The Ultimate Black Knight is a quadriplegic Cyborg with Artificial Limbs and a suit of Powered Armor. Valkyrie from The Ultimates started off this way (she was just a Thor Fangirl rather than an actual Norse deity), but ended up being given magical powers by Loki. Ultimate Captain Britain was just a guy in a superpowered costume, unlike the mainstream Captain Britain, who was actually granted magical powers by Merlin. Black Panther is completely divorced from any mystical or ceremonial overtones, and instead is a mortally-wounded African teen who was rebuilt into a super soldier by Weapon X. As explained before, the Scarlet Witch's powers come and go between being from her mutation and being actual magic. Here, they do not: it's just her mutation, magic is never mentioned. Subverted by Thor, however. The Ultimate version of him often teased that he wasn't really a deity, leaving conflicting hints that he was actually just a man with super-powers that suffered a mental breakdown and was now under the delusion he was a Norse God. Then revealed that he's a deity after all and all the hints to otherwise were planted by Loki to fuck with him. Also subverted with Ghost Rider. Hawkeye refuses to believe he is actually from Hell, and instead thinks he's just a mutant who happens to have a flaming skull. Turns out that yes, he's really a creature from hell. You'd think after disbelieving Thor for the longest time he would've learned to be more open-minded.

Fortune has luck-based powers that cause every shot fired against her to miss (Hint: Don't stand next to her). It then explains much later that she merely has a "sufficiently advanced" bit of technology (that she didn't know about) which makes her Immune to Bullets. This is demonstrated by the owner of the device shooting her in the chest, proving he controls the device and she is powerless. Shortly after this he tries shooting rockets at her, and she deflects them with her mind. note She is also revealed to have survived the aforementioned chest wound because of a rare birth defect that put her heart on the right side of her body, suggesting that her luck-based abilities sometimes work in more subtle ways. Seems in this case, the wizard was Not Quite Dead. Then there's the character of Vamp, who is to all evidence an actual supernatural vampire. In a milieu with psychics, an immortal woman and a man COVERED IN BEES, this isn't so strange it couldn't be pulled off with sheer chutzpah. Instead, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots goes well out its way to explain how his powers are granted by nanomachines and other technology. In general the series plays with this to different degrees depending on the entry, with pretty much every entry containing different balances of sci-fi vs. Magic Realism or other symbolic elements, and characters discuss Magic from Technology and Clarke's Third Law in-universe. Metal Gear Solid 4 is infamous for going hard on doing in the wizard, but it includes implications that the magical explanations might have been real after all, brushed over by the main narrative.

Doing In the Wizard / int_597d9b72	comment	The final stretch of Raging Loop involves main character Haruaki making some truly amazing leaps of logic to explain away the supernatural events during earlier runs of the Feast as entirely grounded in real-world logic and entirely man-made phenomena For example...Humans rotting away in front of his eyes for breaking the rules of the feast? Rabies! Every participant in the Feast except the wolves fall uncontrollably asleep every night, and all the doors lock except the first one the wolves open every night? The Conspiracy connected every house in the town to a gas tank full of an odourless and invisible sedative that somehow makes everyone fall asleep every night perfectly (despite the extreme differences in weight, age and physical condition of every villager) and put invisible electronic locks on everything! Killer werewolf with glowing red eyes who repeatedly kills Haruaki and Chiemi over dozens if not hundreds of time loops? A 95-year old man in a costume!.. And so on, and somehow being right every time. This despite other aspects, like the setting's central conceit of a time loop and the sheep that allows Haruaki to keep his memories when looping, being clearly supernatural and never explained away. It's implied Haruaki might actually have a superpower that turns his Arbitrary Skepticism into reality, and the entire setting and its looping is due to it being a dream created by a powerful Reality Warper. Given that both said dreamer and the sheep are personally fond of Haruaki, it's possible their interference somehow retconned the supernatural events away during his final loops, just to prove him right.

Doing In the Wizard / int_62570927	comment	Officially, Mephisto is not literally the devil in the Marvel Universe; he just gets off on convincing people that he is. Magic is a very real, very prominent force in Marvel stories... sometimes. Depending on the writer and the tone of the series, seemingly magical elements may be written off as fantastic technology and demons may in fact be interdimensional aliens... or not. It's all quite confusing, really, but the go-to solution seems to be simply not to worry about it too much. Mephisto is one of several evil extradimensional beings who claim or have claimed to be the Devil, Satan Merkratang. They all rule their own Hell dimensions, and all claim to be the real deal. Canonically, they're all liars and know it. The real Satan hasn't been seen in so long, even in Hell, that many (even among the rulers) don't believe he actually exists. It doesn't mean they're going to take the chance and sit on his empty throne.

Doing In the Wizard / int_62f94c6	comment	The Dark Knight Trilogy strips the world of Batman of fantasy elements, although this is as often accomplished by keeping fantastic backstories vague or leaving them unexplained, instead of actually coming up with alternate, mundane explanations. Instead of being a single man who uses Lazarus Pits to extend his life, Ra's Al-Ghul is but the latest successor in the long line of leaders of the League of Shadows, all calling themselves Ra's Al-Ghul, and any fantastic abilities are chalked up to a hallucinogenic flower. The Joker is given a Mysterious Past instead of having him becoming discolored and insane after being dropped in a vat of chemicals. His white face and green hair is very obviously makeup, and one scene shows him without them. His perpetual smile are two crude scars on his cheeks. Instead of pumping him with the Super Serum "Venom", Bane's mask pumps him with unspecified painkillers, and his strength presumably derives from Training from Hell only. He is also implied to have been raised in a brutal foreign prison like his comic counterpart, but this origin is then attributed to Talia Al-Ghul, and Bane's own is rendered a mystery. In the comics, Harvey Dent became the monstrous Two-Face after mob boss Sal Maroni threw acid at him during his trial. In the movie, an unnamed henchman of Maroni tries to shoot Dent during Maroni's trial, but Dent disarms him. Instead he is disfigured later by being dosed on fuel and set on fire by the Joker, and loses his sanity due to a combination of the Joker killing his fiancÃ©e and his own refusal to take painkillers.

Not only is there a Ghost Rider who is explicitly magical (even though no one believes him), there are ghosts created by a Tome of Eldritch Lore who can curse people with a touch. The scientists repeatedly fail to come up with non-magical explanations, but they do find non-magical solutions. The message is that even if magic itself is beyond the realm of science, its effects are parallel the norm enough that they can be accounted for by mundane means. Runaways (2017): Following the example of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the show tries to explain magic away as science with varying levels of success. Ultimately subverted, as the Staff of One is indeed magic just like the comics, as revealed in the next season. In Cloak & Dagger (2018), D'Spayre is changed from an outright demon to a man who was granted powers after being exposed to the Darkforce and Lightforce energies Roxxon had been researching.

Doing In the Wizard / int_6a7e6314	comment	Somewhat averted or muddied with Thor: Ragnarok. It would appear the average Asgardian is a long lived mortal. But Odin, Thor, and Hela are something else entirely. Loki is explicitly said be a magic practitioner. His illusions are not tech, but rather, a magic spell he learned from his adoptive mother Frigga. Meanwhile, despite prior indications that Asgard existed in another dimension, the movie reveals that it's actually possible to reach it by spaceship.

Doing In the Wizard / int_6ab7b407	comment	Tekken 4, in general. Most soft sci-fi and blatantly supernatural elements from previous Tekken games are downplayed or eliminated entirely. For example, the Mishima clan's Devil powers seem to be attributed to a genetic mutation. Ogre, instead of being an ancient god, is a "bioweapon." The Ridiculously Human Robot, Jack, was replaced by the Clockwork Creature, Combot. Neither Angel nor Devil or Devil Jin are playable characters, though the latter two have brief appearances at the end of the canonical story with Devil surfacing before Kazuya subjugates him for good and Jin starting to transforming into his Devil form as he leaves Hon-Maru. No Beast Men. And the final boss, like the first game, is simply Heihachi rather than some sort of Humanoid Abomination. Whatever the reasons for this change, though, it didn't stick. In subsequent games, it's pretty clear that the Devil Gene, a supposed genetic fluke, does have a supernatural origin, with the Final Boss of the sixth game alleging itself to be its source. Jack not only returns but is joined by the even more ridiculously-human-looking (and very anime-esque) Alisa Bosconovitch. The final bosses of Tekken 5 , 6, and 7 (a dead man possessed by an evil spirit, an outright demon, and the ghost of a woman with the Devil Gene, respectively) are definitely supernatural. Roger makes a return (without Alex), and now has an equally anthropomorphic family, while Mokujin reawakens in the fifth and sixth games due to the threats of Jinpachi and Azazel. Tekken Tag 2 even brought back Alex, Angel, both Devils, Ogre, and Unknown, with Ogre's profile and ending strongly suggesting it was left behind by extraterrestrials (though this detail does date back to the official strategy guide for Tekken 3, complicating matters). In short, the Wizard Came Back Strong.

In the Definitive Edition, these mysterious ships are changed to cannon galleons abandoned by the Spanish during the Noche Triste. The fan expansion Forgotten Empires added a fire-breathing dragon unit to the Editor, but it was taken out when it was officialized as The Forgotten. Later on, the Rise of Rajas expansion added Komodo dragons, which may kill people but don't breathe fire and are much easier to kill. The Forgotten and Rise of the Rajas also included ambiguous, or demythified versions of the Nagas (Snake People in Indian mythology) in the Prithviraj campaign, and Le Loi receiving his magical sword from the turtle god Kim Quy. In the Definitive Edition, the Nagas are substitued by the unambiguously human Paramaras (a historical Rajput dynasty), and the sword side quest is deleted altogether.

Doing In the Wizard / int_6dec62d6	comment	The Illusionist (2006): In the original short story ("Eisenheim the Illusionist"), the tricks are more fantastic and seemingly supernatural, as well as left unexplained. In comparison, the movie strips off any wonder by showing how Eisenheim accomplishes everything with a mix of mechanisms and his own ability. The big gig that gets Eisenheim in trouble with the government is also changed from a disappearance trick inspired by The Pied Piper of Hamelin, where a child comes back claiming to have been in Hell while disappeared (obvious implications given Eisenheim's name and the Austro-Hungarian setting); to a sÃ©ance where Eisenheim summons the spirit of the dead fiancÃ©e of the Crown Prince and she accusses him of her murder. Then the ending reveals how Eisenheim did it, by having him leave notes where he explains all for Chief Inspector Uhl to find. As for Uhl, the story speculates that he was faked by Eisenheim as part of his final disappearance trick, while in the movie he is obviously a separate, independent character, and a real person.

Doing In the Wizard / int_760ce135	comment	Blindsight does this with vampires. Rather than supernatural beings, they were a subspecies of solitary predatory hominid that hunted (and interbred with) early humans. Their famous traits are explained as various adaptations: not only were they stronger, faster and nocturnal, but they were "omnisavants", capable of levels of problem-solving and pattern-matching that humans couldn't hope to match. To cut down on energy demands and avoid hunting their prey to extinction, they were also capable of aestivating for long periods. However, a broken pathway meant they could no longer synthesize PCDH-Y, a protein necessary for neuron development that's only found in hominids, meaning they had to include humans in their diet. Their biggest weakness was the so-called "Crucifix Glitch", a neural miswiring in the visual cortex that caused fatal epileptic seizures when near-perpendicular lines took up too much of their visual field. This wasn't much of a problem in nature, but once humans invented architecture, it spelled doom for the vampire species. However, some semi-functional vampire genes still exist in clinical sociopaths and savants.

The reason he can use 'actual magic' earlier in the book is that he's been transported to an alternate universe where there is actual magic. Once he gets back home, he can't do magic, but he keeps the psychic powers that he's now unlocked. (Hence the title of this book — The Warlock Unlocked.)

Her magical energy rays are re-interpreted as bioluminescence, her connection with Godzilla is explained as a "symbiotic relationship", and the iconic twin fairy priestesses are instead identical twin Monarch scientists that have formed a connection with Mothra. However, it does stretch into Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane territory at times, because the twin Monarch scientists have a mother and grandmothers who were also identical twin Monarch scientists and one of them has identical twin daughters (the chance of this happening naturally is astronomically low), with twin statues in Mothra's temple suggesting they also existed in prehistoric times, and how Godzilla's symbiotic nuclear pulse can also somehow emit Mothra's wings and screech. In addition, Mothra also seems unusually intelligent for a kaiju to the point of knowing how to communicate what she wants to the humans and the novelization has her implied to have flat out brought Madison back to life.

So a lot of what seems 'magical' about them is really Bizarre Alien Biology or extremely advanced technology. However, this doesn't completely explain their more supernatural powers, and there's still plenty of other magical and supernatural elements that are never explained away with science. The reason why this happened, according to the mangaka BigCutieMiley at an anime con in Seattle, is that he was criticized during the manga's run for not having the demons be accurate to Christian mythology, so he pulled an Author's Saving Throw. Also, the anime adaptation didn't do this and played the supernatural elements straight the whole way through.

The thirteen original Primes aren't the powerful and mystical progenitors of Cybertron, they were just normal Transformers who led Cybertron in its early years. Near the end of the series, it's revealed that every myth and legend in Cybertronian history was created by a time displaced Shockwave to further his plans to make a perfect Cybertronian society. Unicron is revealed to be a doomsday device created by an ancient alien race threatened by Cybertronian expansion rather than being the archenemy of Primus and the "devil" equivalent to Cybertron. Sparkeaters are ordinary Transformers that were affected by a Sparkeater weapon that Brainstorm invented and as such he knows how to cure them relatively easily. Oddly, this universe avoids the "built by Quintessons" origin and never provides any concrete explanation for where the Transformers came from. Averted by the zombies (that aren't Sparkeaters), vampires, and Eldritch Abominations that have appeared in the IDW Shared Universe. They're all real and haven't been scientifically explained away.

While this raises several questions, particularly in regard to the way certain battles were known to have progressed, this, as well as the decision to ignore the sole canonical instance of sapient aliens in the setting, have firmly established the Battletech universe as one where technology, not mysticism, is a central tenet.

Doing In the Wizard / int_91308bb	comment	In The Last Illusion, a short segment notes that Harry D'amour was haunted by the rape and murder of his friend Father Hesse by the "Lazy Susan Demon" during the attempted exorcism of Mimi Lomax. This led to Harry going hard Christian, with much of his body tattooed with religious motifs as a means of protection against the supernatural. When Harry went through the events of Everville, he learned that the "Lazy Susan Demon" isn't some Biblical devil out of hell. It was just a creepy pervert from the Quiddity world and nothing special. After learning the "demon" had returned to the old Lomax house, Harry gets into a fistfight with the monster and slaughters it with a Finishing Stomp. Harry still lives in a supernatural-haunted world complete with Hell and all, it's just that "Lazy Susan Demon" was little more than an animated puddle of poop from another world and not some Prince of Darkness.

Magicians invent a new type of magical technique that runs on magical energy and share it amongst each other. If they share it too much, it stops being magical and starts being technology and running without mana. The only way to replenish the world's supply of magic is with new magical techniques: the main character invents the theater and special effects in one book which helps replenish the world's supply of magic.

According to him, it all comes down to something called "S-Cells" that all Saiyans naturally possess, but which are fostered by things that the average Saiyan would never achieve, like a calm heart and high fighting power. Goku was essentially the perfect combination of power, environment, and temperament to achieve Super Saiyan, which Gohan, Goten and Trunks also benefit from thanks to a relaxed lifestyle on Earth (in addition to their parentage). More high-strung characters however like Vegeta and Broly find the form much more difficult to accomplish, and no Saiyan from the time of Planet Vegeta ever canonically accomplished it.

Doing In the Wizard / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece is known for doing in certain cases once the Straw Hats reach the Grand Line. The mysteries of Skypiea and the Florian Triangle end up with SOME kind of rational explanation that makes them seem less supernatural than the readers originally thought. Also, it was made clear that ships have been mysteriously disappearing in the Florian Triangle since long before Thriller Bark. At the end of the Arc in the anime, as the Straw Hats are leaving the now-abandoned Thriller Bark, a colossal shadow monster is seen watching their departure and looming over the island-ship, and has never been explained or mentioned again. To date, there is exactly one supernatural occurrence that has not been given a logical or scientific explanation in-universe: The Klabautermann. It's described as a spirit that is attracted to a well-loved ship, such as the Straw Hats' Going Merry, manifesting when a ship nears the ends of its life. It's used to explain how the Merry was mysteriously repaired overnight during the Skypiea arc, but no explanation is given for the spirit itself beyond the legend. Though it hasn't been talked about directly, Dr. Vegapunk, an extremely good scientist responsible for most of the world's technological revolutions apparently knows what Devil Fruits really are. The only thing close to an explanation so far is the myth giving the Devil fruits their name; being fruits of the Sea Devil, eating one will earn you the hatred of the sea itself, hence the inability to swim. As Vegapunk is almost certainly a man of science (it was his discovery that allowed weapons to "eat" devil fruits), it means that he probably knows the scientific reason behind how the fruits affect the eater's body. Ultimately though, this is Averted and the Wizard sticks around. Vegapunk does know what Devil Fruits are, and it turns out they're the manifestation of people's impossible dreams given a form that makes them possible, something that there's no way for science to explain away.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, however, the cause of the inversion is explained as a the product of a machine called the Inverse-o-matic. Throughout most of the series, the Dragon type is described almost poetically, and given almost exclusively to extremely rare, endgame-level Mons. The introduction of the Fairy typing gives it one of its two weaknesses, with a basis in fairy tales. Then Generation VI introduces the legendary Regidrago, which is described as being comprised of "crystalized dragon energy," meaning that the majesty inherent to the Fragon type might be actually an inherent, measurable quality, although with what has been shown, it is still clearly magic.

Doing In the Wizard / int_a33d74a4	comment	Done somewhat blatantly in the Sword of Truth series and can mainly be ascribed to the Sisters of the Light. In the first few books, magic is described as being one's "gift" and prophecies in-world were very traditionally vague. Once the good Sisters are introduced, they bring along their own descriptions, describing the gift as one's "Han". And beyond the fourth book, the previously well-written and plot-relevant prophecies disappear and are replaced with quantum physics technobabble meant to sound more scientific than mystical, going beyond Magic A Is Magic A (this is also, not coincidentally, when the story becomes an Author Tract). At this point, the evil Sisters of the Dark also start stealing the "Han" of male wizards and using it for themselves, apparently through the power of spiky demon penis.

Doing In the Wizard / int_a8c95694	comment	The Flight of Dragons: The main character got his mind stuck in a dragon and received a lecture about dragon-ness from an older one, upon which he deduced the dragon abilities of flight and firebreathing as possible due to hollow bones, empty spaces in the body for holding gas, and eating limestone (calcium carbonate) - which mixed with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) produces hydrogen gas that is lighter than airnote Unfortunately, hydrochloric acid actually reacts with limestone to produce carbon dioxide gas (and calcium chloride and water). It is possible to produce hydrogen gas by reacting various acids with various metals (i.e. not metal compounds or ores) which might have been what Peter Dickinson was originally thinking of., and ignitable with a spark from the scaly dragon tongue/roof of mouth. The mechanics of the dragons' physiology were taken from the speculative natural history book The Flight of Dragons by Peter Dickinson, and the film's main character was named after the author, though the story and many of the other characters are loosely based on Gordon R. Dickson's The Dragon and the George. More than that, however, in-universe, Peter Dickinson was chosen because he is ultimately a man of science. He unmerges himself from Gorbash by declaring that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time, and he literally does in an evil wizard by countering every one of his spells with scientific formulae. Rejecting magic also sends him back to his own time.

Doing In the Wizard / int_ac8b90f5	comment	This trope is played in-universe in Mage: The Ascension. The Technocratic Union is a group of magical scientists who are attempting to do in the wizard, while Traditions are more "wizard-like" and try to do in the scientist. In short, the Technocrats (at their best) push for a scientific, rational worldview and the Traditionalists (again, at their best) push for a mystical, spiritual one. Both of the major factions are, to a great degree, trying to influence human society into accepting their point of view in order to solidify reality with their own vision. The irony in part stems from a serious case of Grey-and-Gray Morality. As stated on Doing in the Scientist, in Mage, the Wizard and the Scientist are metaphorically the same person, whom we could call Humanity. Humanity uses the lab coat, the abacus, and the computer some days, the cloak, the chicken entrails, and prayer the next, all in a pointless argument with itself. The most common resolution to the game's Meta Plot is that the Wizard and Scientist got it together and Humanity ascended to a higher plane of existence.

Gwen's half-Anodite heritage just makes her really good at raw magic usage - Anodites are Energy Beings made of the stuff - but its entirely possible for humans like Charmcaster and her people to use it too, with a bit more effort, and use it in more creative ways thanks to the development of different spells and such. Spellbooks naturally make their return around this same time, but whether this all was a case of Unreliable Narrator muddling things up (the character who said magic isn't real had never dealt with magic of non-alien origin before) or an Author's Saving Throw is up in the air.

Doing In the Wizard / int_b0028436	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has two completely ridiculous, though ambiguous, examples. The first is the mystical Stone Mask that turns its wearer into a vampire when exposed to blood, by piercing their face with spikes. Battle Tendency reveals that the mask was actually created by Kars, a member of the Pillar Men, an advanced race that eats vampires. The functionality of the Stone Mask was never truly explained though. Jonathan had a hypothesis that it worked by hitting key points inside the brain, but was unaware of the mask's supernatural qualities at the time. The second is when it is revealed that Stands (Psychic Powers personified) are created through a magical Stand Arrow forged from a meteor, which grants a Stand to anyone it hits. This arrow is later revealed to be not magical, but instead contains an alien virus, and grants Stands by mutating the target's DNA. Although the true nature of the Arrows is left rather ambiguous (the less-than-accurate translation certainly didn't help the subject), while Polnareff claims it's an extraterrestrial virus that creates the effect of the arrows' material, it's made very obvious that they seem to have a will of their own and a more spiritual quality to them. The supernatural side is also present in Stone Ocean, making the whole example controversial at best.

Doing In the Wizard / int_b370ddd1	comment	Perhaps the most explicit example is in the Thor movies. In the first Thor, the source of Asgardians' abilities is left mostly to the imagination. The Asgardians themselves refer to them in terms usually associated with magic and claim to fail to see the difference between magic and science when asked by the human protagonist. By Thor: The Dark World, Asgardian equipment is more obviously technological (e.g. the rather pedestrian shield generator for the main palace), Odin states outright Asgardians are regular mortals (with Loki putting their lifespan at some 5,000 years, thus making it possible for the Asgardian characters to be present on Earth in the Dark Ages), Thor pilots an obviously technological Dark Elf ship with familiar ease, etc. Perhaps the most direct example is when Jane Foster asks an Asgardian physician whether the device they're using to scan her (for the presence of the Aether, a parasitic MacGuffin), which the Asgardians call a "soul forge", is a "quantum field generator" (itself technobabble, but of the "plausible" kind). The Asgardian fails to answer, but does confirm that the device "transfers molecular energy from one place to another", which apparently, according to Foster, is what a quantum field generator does. This is as close as the MCU comes to saying that all Asgardian abilities are either natural (such as their lifespan and their mooks' physical strength), or technological.

In fact, many wizards actively collect functioning super-science relics to bolster their arsenals. The straightest example of this trope comes in the episode "Den of the Sleeping Demon", where an aspiring Evil Sorcerer named Judag attempts to find and awaken the titular monster, which will supposedly reward whoever does so with the magic of a thousand wizards. It turns out the "demon" is actually nothing more than a Bioweapon Beast created before the apocalypse and then placed in suspended animation, with no magical powers at all, so the first thing it does when Judag frees it is try to make a meal of him.

The Master Emerald's presence on Earth (which was the very thing that drew the Chaos Emeralds and thus the Ancients to Earth), as well as the Super Emeralds, remains unexplained and presumably mystical, though Sega has stated that magic doesn't exist in Sonic's world.

Doing In the Wizard / int_bb444181	comment	Tales of the Questor starts off using the word "Lux" as just the Racconans' technical term for their medieval-era world's Force Magic version of Functional Magic, complete with constant uses of terms like "spells," "magic," and "wizard." After over a hundred pages of this, the fundamentalist Christian author devoted a text-heavy side arc to explaining that the force that looked like magic, acted like magic, sparkled like magic, was treated like magic, and was frequently called magic wasn't really magic. Another side arc, much later in the comic's run, went further and showed the tragic consequences of Racconans referring to their magic-like powers as magic, implying that they weren't even going to use magic-related terminology anymore.

Doing In the Wizard / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Done in-universe in the Horus Heresy series. The series opens with the Emperor of Mankind doing this as he builds the Imperium. The galaxy just came out of a millennia long dark age marked by superstition and worship of dark gods. As the Emperor's influence spreads across the galaxy, so does the state ideology of the Imperial Truth, which is devoted to pure science and rationality and is dedicated to erasing gods and mysticism entirely. Unfortunately, the Imperial Truth is a lie, gods are real, and they are pissed. Much of the series thus far has dealt with how the Imperium is coming to grips with living in a galaxy of horrors. This was inverted with Psychic Powers. Psychic powers work by mutated minds being able to draw physics-defying power from the Warp to work it for specific effects. This sounds fairly reasonable, if a rather soft science explanation to explain away how psychic powers work, but seeing ritualized and even damning advanced uses, like Eldar and Chaos enacting Ritual Magic and Necromancy, quite simply does away with any pretenses that it's thinly veiled magic, if not outright magic. The Tau have little to no Warp presence, meaning they have no psychics and therefore no way of being influenced by the Warp. Unfortunately, early information on the subject was interpreted to mean that the Warp doesn't exist, and that everything humans have to say on the subject are the fevered delusions of madmen. (The fact that the forces of Chaos who are much more at home in the Warp are universally madmen doesn't help.) They once vanquished a Chaos army containing a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh and prided themselves on the propaganda value of having killed one of the Dark Gods. Much the way destroying the treads on an Abrams tank means the U.S.' total military capacity has dropped to zero. One of the appeals of the setting is that a lot of things are Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. The giant Awesome Personnel Carrier with several batteries of laser cannons and twin gatling guns as support, which transports 12 Super Soldiers in ancient Powered Armor may be able to work even after its crew is dead due to a magical "machine spirit"... or the machine spirit may just be a highly advanced AI from another, more enlightened age and simply poorly understood due to the regression of society and technology over 10,000 years of galaxy-wide war. The factions that are explicitly stated to use AI (and no magic) are the aforementioned Tau and the Necrons, the latter of which are stated to have mastered all physical science the normal universe has to offer. For everyone else, it might be this trope, it might be pure magic, Magitek or something else entirely.

Doing In the Wizard / int_bcdcf629	comment	Transformers: Animated plays with this. While the AllSpark is shown to have an almost supernatural appearance, Word of God states that it operates on scientific principles (albeit principles neither human or Transformer has cracked). The Magnus Hammer is also given a vague origin. Primus exists as a god, but not many Cybertronians believe in him, save for the Church of Primus. Word of God states that older Cybertronians were primitive, and took billions of years to reach their current level of technology. Exactly who their creators are is a mystery, but it is heavily implied that they were Sufficiently Advanced Aliens that modeled Cybertron and its inhabitants (including beast-type robots) after their own world. Additionally, there are no Thirteen Primes in Transformers. Derrick J. Wyatt has also revealed on Formspring that the inner workings of Cybertron contain a "giant robot factory." Of course, a lot of this is writers giving their own, sometimes conflicting interpretation of what they didn't get to make canon, and comes together to get pretty confusing. Transformers is the work of far too many hands to consider anyone "god" enough to give absolute Word of God about how it all works. The shows themselves have a strange relationship with "the wizard," where things we'd call "magic" are described in sciency terms because, well, they're robots. Gods, demons, Ki Manipulation, Psychic Powers, Battle Auras, and The Lifestream all exist, but don't expect them to ever be called that or explained to death in a 'midichlorian' sort of way. Though even the "not calling it magic" bit isn't always consistent; Transformers: Prime, especially, sometimes came within a hair's breadth of stating that certain things were explicitly supernatural. When it comes to the Allspark in Animated, the writers explicitly mentioned "midichlorians" as the kind of overly complicated and unsatisfying origin they're trying to avoid; where it comes from and how it works gets no mention at all. (This fits with the movies as well: "Before time began, there was... the cube." is all you're getting.)

Doing In the Wizard / int_bd310eaa	comment	El Goonish Shive falls somewhere between this and Magic A Is Magic A. While magic is an accepted and integral part of that universe, Tedd's transformation technology (which was given to him by aliens) as well as Grace's own transformation abilities are said to be more scientific in nature (although they do rely on an alternate form of magic energy to function, to the point where they give a false positive to any magic sensing devices). The way it works is so complicated that it took an arc to explain. Though it's not like magic and inner demons weren't mentioned in the first three months. Look! It's a demonic duck of some sort! The "Hammerchlorians" arc does this on a somewhat meta level, explaining that the ability of some characters to summon Hyperspace Mallets is the result of a specific enchantment, rather than a generic comedy convention inherent to the comic's universe. The strip hangs lampshades by comparing this revelation to the "midi-chlorians" explanation in Star Wars. Ultimately, this is more like bringing in the wizard to replace a more esoteric explanation. In a way, this strip, and the following one, do in the wizard. Though not in the usual way.

Doing In the Wizard / int_c4282b71	comment	Appears sometimes in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction. The Writing on the Wall has Adventurer Archaeologist Daring Do working on excavating an ancient, imposing building constructed deep in the desert. Daring Do dismisses the metallic thorns constructed around the ediface as something meant to deter tomb robbers, and the eponymous writing inside the building as an attempt to scare people away with a nonexistent curse on anyone who disturbed the sanctity of the place. Too bad she was Wrong Genre Savvy and Right for the Wrong Reasons; the words and the thorns were both meant to deter tomb robbers, but the building isn't a tomb, and the "curse" was a warning of the very real, but entirely non-magical danger which lay within: nuclear waste. One of the appendices to Act II of the alternate continuity Legends of Equestria models magic as an imperative programming language, composed of elementary instructions that unicorns have over time abstracted into personal "libraries" that allow them to cast more complicated spells with less effort. It even points out that magic is almost-provably Turing complete under this model. Frigid Winds and Burning Hearts effectively destroys most of the magic of Equestria. The Everfree Forest is just a nature preserve (it even has poachers), Discord is just a mundane tyrant, the retelling of Equestria's founding doesn't have Windigoes, and almost everything out of the ordinary is because of deliberate meddling, not because of any magical nature of the place. Even "The Stare" is just something that ponies who work with animals learn! While generally inverted in Diaries of a Madman, the elementals are actually a race comprised of nanomachines, rather than beings of magic. In Fallout: Equestria, the zebras believe that the stars are The Fair Folk and that meteorites are evil stars that have been banished from the courts of their kindred for their malice. One such fallen star is believed to have corrupted Princess Luna into Nightmare Moon, and her taking Celestia's place as The High Queen of Equestria only intensified the war, as the zebras were convinced that Princess Luna was destroy them all unless defeated. 200 years later, and a zebra named Xenith learns that the zebra's myths were completely wrong: the meteorite fragments are radioactive, but they're not possessed. Ironically, Recursive Fanfiction Fallout: Equestria - Project Horizons makes the zebra myths true instead.

Doing In the Wizard / int_e1260837	comment	The Village (2004) is a movie about a 19th-century community living in fear of some terrific monsters lurking in the surrounding woods, until the Mandatory Twist Ending reveals that the movie is actually set in the present day and the Village's "elders" founded the community in order to flee from the depravities of the modern world, faking the monsters to keep their children from leaving the community. This was a subversion of M. Night Shyamalan's formula in previous films (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs), all of which had a twist ending that hinged on a supernatural element, but didn't invalidate it.

Doing In the Wizard / int_e22053ce	comment	An odd example occurs in Mega Man Megamix - while the abilities of the Robot Masters in the original games were all clearly technological, the bios given for them in the manga tend to rationalise them and ground them in something resembling reality. This is especially true for the more fantastical powers - for instance, Flash Man's Time Stopper is explained as a system that controls the speed of light, rather than outright control over time.

Doing In the Wizard / int_e7a9c06c	comment	In one issue of Paperinik New Adventures, an indigenous Russian wisewoman tells the titular hero a poetic story about the time the earth and the thunder had a child. Paperinik, knowing that it's a mythologized retelling of a meteorstrike, dismisses the stories as superstition - only for the wisewoman to inform him that she actually has a doctorate in astronomy and is well aware of the scientific explanation, she simply prefers to tell the story in a poetic, mythologized way to preserve her culture.

Doing In the Wizard / int_ea4860b3	comment	In the Wolves of Mercy Falls Series, lycanthropy is a disease that causes people to transform into wolves when the temperature drops. While curable through mundane means, it is still treated as supernatural and unexplainable. In the second book Linger, a scientifically-minded werewolf puts his blood under a microscope and determines that lycanthropy has a physical, if somewhat pseudoscientific, cause. Werewolves transform as an immune response to a toxin spread by bites, and such transformations are more affected by brain chemistry than the actual temperature and can be induced with drugs.

On the Trail of the Marsupilami, the typical cartoon eyes of the titular critter (small black iris, big white sclera) are changed to small, realistic non-human eyes with no exposed sclera, that are surrounded by white hair instead.

Doing In the Wizard / int_ff3289cd	comment	Age of Empires III broke with its history-based predecessors in featuring a single fantasy campaign revolving around a fictional family finding the Fountain of Youth and fighting a Dan Brown-esque worldwide conspiracy. After accusations of They Changed It, Now It Sucks!, the expansion The WarChiefs had two campaigns following the same family, but based on the American Revolution and the Sioux Wars with no mention of the Fountain or the secret society in the base game. However the same expansion had Native Americans being able to tame wild animals with magic and gaining units and technologies by dancing around the fire, and the following expansion The Asian Dynasties had a campaign based on Gavin Menzies's pseudohistorical 1421 Hypothesis. In the Definitive Edition, the fire pit building was changed to a "community plaza", the Native Americans could only recruit human units, and standalone single player scenarios based on historical battles were added instead of a new campaign.
