Yeah...

No.

Firstly, you are not a wizard. Unless perhaps you're engaging in useless definitional sophistry to pretend that wizard means something aside from common usage or some such nonsense, in order to fruitlessly pretend that you know what you're talking about.

Secondly, you are explicitly inventing a nonsense explanation to explain a nonsense phenomenon. As well say that the match doesn't light in the magical world because magical energies destroy phlogiston.
