Anything that breaks the laws of physics has power beyond limits (quite literally) and indeed, would function the best as a weapon. But it would also function as a weapon of peace, a weapon of reparation, and so on, which to me is so much more important. Don't think magic breaks the laws of physics jsut adds to them. At least my favorite magic systems. You can't "add to" the laws of physics. That's quite literally breaking them. You adhere, or you don't. I don't mind changing them, but that's still realistically breaking them. That's assuming the laws of physics we know are the complete laws of physics. The way I see it we have a good idea of some laws of physics, and the more we learn some may be changed or added. It's assuming the laws of physics we know are the best we can understand currently of the completed laws of physics. Best we can understand currently. Magic could be a whole new part of physics we can't currently comprehend. But it won't be. How do you know? Likelihood. You don't know then. And what about the existence of the universe? I fail to see your point.

Also what is with this god awful new formatting for quoting? You don't know it either, but it's pointless to assume otherwise.

Quoting just got weird, yes. Alright you still can't say it's impossible that magic is some part of physics we can't yet understand. It seems not just possible but likely that we have nowhere near full comprehension of physics, considering the new discoverys made every day. And in exactly the same way, religion isn't impossible, just not even a worthwhile consideration. Yes, but magic in these worlds is when the improbable happens. Since it can exist, some have done the next step and assummed that it does in their version of our world/their world. It's not that it can exist, it's that people write down that it can. People need to realise the difference between reality and a book. Someone's hardly gonna try to ride a giant sand worm after reading Dune.
