Clarke's Law stated that:
- Any sufficiently advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic.
For example: the Sycorax thought of blood control as form of sorcery as it gave them power over others and they accused the Doctor of witchcraft when he grew another hand. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)
The Doctor reminded Ace of Clarke's Law and stated that "the reverse is true", as was the case of the Thirteen Worlds, a parallel universe where technology formed alongside magic. (DW: Battlefield)
The Captain paraphrased this by describing now-wrecked craft had possessed technologies "indistinguishable from magic." (DW: The Pirate Planet)
