[meta] theory of handwavium 'magic'
[meta] theory of handwavium 'magic'
#1
(Excerpt from a book put inside a vault with lots of security precautions)
On Handwaved Movie and Television Props
It's determined that influencing handwavium is like herding cats. One's will influences it a bit, along with the underlying desires of the individual conflicting. If one expects one's will to affect it, then the will of an entire group would affect the handwaved device. A actors's job is to make things look like the person he or she is portraying. A thing portrayed in a movie is made to -look- the part and what's better than looking the part than having the effect that the audience(movie patrons) believe in? As Hollywood objects, they are enhanced to behave like the objects they are portraying as a better prop. Perhaps the more patrons who believe in something the more powerful it is at the time it was waved, i.e a movie prop is more powerful than a television prop and a legendary or historical movie prop is more powerful than a fictional prop?
