Space Wizards...in SPACE!

I sense that you are trying to be snide/clever but to be honest its going over my head.

Halo 4's story and gameplay use space magic frequently. Slipspace everything, hard light everything, magic Didact force choke...and so on.

Space Magic -
Something magical that has a few scienc-y terms slapped on it so it "makes sense".
See: Technobabble.

The moral?
I don't get why people don't like "magic", but are okay with it if it just has a different name slapped on it. Flux capacitor style, yo. Personally, I enjoy both if they're done well, and recognize that both require a certain suspension of disbelief.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
