Typo: "Some theorise that it could be due to a resonant frequency mismatch, similar to the assume cause of battery degradation." Assumed.

Ah, my mild dyslexia led me down a wrong path. Obviously I was conflating "Physology," into "Physiology." But I was pretty close on micrology, which, in itself seems to be very fine scale telekinesis. Also important to note that visualization magic acts directly upon the brain of the subject, not as something actually perceived in the world. Means my guess about the Princess wearing a glamour might be way off as any photographs of her would reveal the truth behind the illusion. It also raises questions about the interaction of visualization magic with a technological entity like Justin. This depends on if your AI's have biological components in their processor cores, or if their design structure mimics a human brain - but much faster and not led astray by hormones and limbic response.

Bet you'd have really enjoyed my last couple of comments in Nov/Dec! My own fault for falling behind, yet, in a couple of days I've blown through over four months of story, so I'll be caught up by next week. Probably. Laura's nephew* is coming to Ireland next week and will be staying with us, so I may lag again since we'll all be cruising around the island.

*I haven't accepted my "Uncle" status yet. I've never met the man, been married to Laura for 7 years and he's 25.
