magic works because the simulation is heavily compressed and there's a lot of overlapping memory and bugs doing magic is like doing the missingno glitch in pokemon, injecting spurious data into memory registers to cause unintended behavior
Nah fam, magick works because the simulation is run by a benevolent but autistic AI that interprets legible requests for magick by giving magick, within simple parameters and pending being patched out by angry admins who didn't anticipate this. If you want something just ask lol.
