Written For: Challenge 038: magic at

Spoilers: None.
Summary: Magic is nothing but science misunderstood.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
Magic is nothing more than science not yet understood; that’s something the Doctor knows, and he uses it to his advantage. Primitive people are easy to impress with trickery; calling it magic sets them in awe of him.
Not that it always works, especially in places where ‘magic’ and ‘witchcraft’ are considered one and the same. Then things can get a bit sticky, especially as witches are, more often than not, put to death. He’s had more than his share of close shaves. But whenever ‘magic’ gets him into trouble, he can always rely on science to get him out.
The End

On a sad note, innocent people were killed under the suspicion of using witchcraft. Now it's a genre in sci-fi.

Hell, I'M impressed by modern technology, LOL!
Thank you!

Mainly it's due to the fact that I don't know what to do when theres a problem.
Remember when a TV was called "The Idiot Box"?. Now we have "Smart TV's".
