the diagram is an AC to DC converter.
That diagram is just heat with extra steps.
I mean, yea. The people designing the AC to DC power supplies often don't care what you use them for, why would they bother putting schematics for a real load on their diagram?
That's what someone who doesn't understand magic would say.
Follow the spell incorrectly and that is indeed all you would get.

RF engineer here, living the life of magic in the air and space!
Yeah but it's too realistic, I want something convenient! Let me read one book and gain the power to create floating ice! Not read like 5 giant books and stufy for years so that I can create a microwave 😔
No shade to microwaves, one of my favorite magic items

FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIAH!!
eyebrow dance
Paraphrasing Arthur C. Clarke: Any technology is indistinguishable from magic, to the sufficiently ignorant.
Clarke's Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Squint at this (from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_demons_in_the_Ars_Goetia) and these might be either ancient sigils or electronic symbols*.
EDIT: Fixed a typo
We always joked it was black magic but its literally on the name.
An actual textbook cover. I mean... An ancient grimoire of the dark arts
Edit: I almost forgot about the sequel
The bible of my people

Said it before and I'll say it again: just because you understand the magic doesn't make it any less magical. A wizard may know the ins and outs of their spells, but they're still spells. Our entire universal is fucking magical, we just happen to have a decent understanding of why (some) of it functions the way it does. Jiggle a quark here and another may jiggle the same way somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, that's fucking wild and magical and incredible, and just because we have some level of understanding behind the mechanics doesn't make it not magic. It just makes it a hard magic system.

Lightning would be wild magic
Makes sense. Could be harnessed to do something probably but incredibly dangerous to do so.

Um akshually, that's a rectification circle.
It's chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.
Also, that's a control spell, not a summoning one.
that's crazy to think about. which NT is responsible for sending a signal along my vagus nerve to my brain? what NTs regulate the functions of the sympathetic nervous system? how can transport as quickly as my body reacts? I need to know more!
how quickly do NTs even travel? it feels like electricity because it's nearly instantaneous! how do they do that so fast???

I was really hoping someone would catch this. I'm glad someone else was also paying attention in biology

We don’t know what the fuck consciousness is.
I'd expand it to electromagnetic fields or something instead of just electricity.
When we figure out how to manipulate elctro-weak at scale, it will be magic.
Electro-mag is pretty crazy already, I agree. The ICP can't even figure out how they work.
