There is a clear look of distaste at that, but she nods.
"Somewhat accurate in terms of look if not in cause. A reasonable comparison to make, for those unfamiliar. But magic, in any universe is a matter of...conjuration. Words in a precise order. There are accoutrements that are often necessary. Wands, various sundry things. Pointy hats, in many stories."
She holds out a hand near the table. With the slight curl of a finger, her stylus rises into the air, slowly spinning.
"The Force is much more direct. And without the worrisome apparent lack of conservation of mass. This, of course, is just equivalent of a conjuring trick so hardly the most impressive feat. But I have seen everything from enhanced speed, tremendous leaps...enormous destructive powers. One of the powerful beings I refer to enhanced the combat capabilities of millions of soldiers...possibly from lightyears away."
That secret, alas, died with the Emperor.
"But my point," she continues, with the slightest look of apology for the aside, "is more that the same effects can work to similar scales within. I can feel the presence of individuals, for instance. I hope to apply that to the energy field here. Which is what certainly is causing the fluctuations I feel."
