To be fair, PhDs and postdocs can't call down lightning from the sky or reanimate the dead to do their bidding.

Of course they can and do call down lightning; the magic spell is called "lighning rocket".

To revive the recently deceased a spell called CPR combined with Defibrilation is used.

Some wizards dedicate their lives to researching even higher level spells

Nor can they Magick-up all their needs, or transmute gold.

Hmm. Too bad you need a bunch of resources for those instead of... Idk, waving your hand and saying some words.

"A bunch of resources" being a pile of ancient tomes and a cheap craptop running Linux, as opposed to a pile of ancient tomes and a runestone?
