Or how magic works
But... if there's a consistent system along which magic works which can be studied/researched/formulated, then isn't it just... science?
nobody is convincing me assembly programming isnt magic
Assembly isn't magic. Computers compiling/interpreting high-level languages into assembly, and making everything works without constantly breaking IS MAGIC
Study a 6502. It's just electrons doing the only thing they can.
whats the best way to start?
I don't know about the best (because I started back in the 80s with a commodore 64, not exactly repeatable) but a good way is this guy: https://eater.net/6502
The keyword is consistent. Some settings have magic as inherently chaotic and difficult to control.
A good rule of thumb is that if a fantasy setting has a school for magic, it's probably a science. If it's knowledge passed from master to magically gifted student, it's probably not very consistent.
Yes.
Watch "Agatha all Along" - the series is managing to answer exactly this question with a great script and cast.

That's not how magic works
Humans have yet to prove it.
Well, it sometimes does
