You sort of do have a point. But remember that this is just a theory. I do agree that it is a bit complicated, but I don't believe that it will necessarily take the mysticism out of magic. Of course, if this theory was common knowledge IC'ly in Gielinor, then we would have a problem with mysticism. This theory would mainly be OOC knowledge, not IC knowledge. And remember, magic itself IS complicated. There are so many aspects to it, and it is so multi-faceted, so in order to adequately explain it, I had to use a simple concept and expand on that in order to make things work. Not only that, this theory explains many other things besides magic, such as the nature of gods and why the Stone of Jas actually exists.

The one thing that you have to remember about space-time is that EVERYTHING that exists is glued to it. Without space-time, there is no way that anything can exist, I'm sure just about any physicist would tell you that if you asked. Note that the basic premise of this theory is the use of our modern understanding of physics to explain why things happen in Gielinor that don't happen here.

And we can solve the lore issue by saying that the QM and Anima Mundi are the same thing. :P I'm already working on some ideas to fuse consciousness and life itself with this theory using quantum computing as a base to work off of. The fact of the matter is that the basic principles behind this theory are simple, but very easy to expand upon to explain just about anything that goes on.
