The Philosopher
People don't speak of science per se, but rather natural philosophy. The
philosopher believes that the world is explainable, even deterministic,
at some fundamental level. The fact that they are essentially trying to
develop a mechanistic view of a natural world that includes magic makes
them a little confused.
They want nothing to do with their mystical colleagues, and seek rational ways
to explain magic. This new rationalistic understanding is therefore the means
of "casting spells." The inherent unpredictability of magic bothers them
somewhat; they're convinced that the world shouldn't be like that. They've
heard of Heimspiel's Uncertainty Principle, and want no truck with it.
The fact that crystals and auras and such actually WORK is a source of great
perturbation for them.
