[Maria nods in understanding - the concept isn't new to her, and considering she has seen some pretty wild stuff even in her short life, it was bound to happen, but...her experience is still a new one. Honestly, if her grandfather hadn't arrived in White Space with her, it probably would have taken Maria much longer to piece together what had happened. She may be smarter than your average twelve year old, by far, but her grandfather has intelligence, wisdom, and experience on his side.]
I think each has its basis in mostly the same aspects, but the procedures are slightly different. Magic, at least non-inherent magic, is learned...much like science is. There are formulas, applications, reactions, the combination of various compounds together...that sort of thing. Alchemy, for a long time, was thought to be magic, but it's purely scientific. [And honestly, one of the more fun sciences. Chemical reactions are just cool to witness sometimes (in a safe and controlled environment, ahem).]
Oh, that's right!! I could enroll in school here... [Maria coughs lightly into her elbow, shifting her blanket around herself more and scooting a little closer to the fire.] I wonder how that's done? Grandfather set everything up for me aboard the ARK, to continue my studies, but...
