I'm sorry.

While this is an interesting thought-experiment, it misses the point of BM being a fantasy world in the "fantasy" sense of the word, not in the "unexplained phenomenon" sense. Those Daimons are really creatures from another plane of existence, and those undead really are undead, and those monsters really are abnormal (though not supernatural) creatures, not just some unfamiliar animals.

And then there's the magic scrolls we have, not just on BT.

Explaining actual magic in a game world with science is just as misguided as explaining real-world explainable events with magic.

In the real world, I'm a top skeptic and will gladly rip a darn big hole into your belief system if you try to talk to me about anything supernatural, "alternative", esoteric or religious. But in my fictional worlds, whether it's BM, some other computer game, a book, movie or whatever, I am looking for internal consistency, not real-world explanations (unless your book/movie/game claims to play in the real world).
