Any magic used to create a specific unnatural action does not prevent other reactions from still occurring naturally. You have to keep in mind that magic sequences do not directly affect molecules and forces. It affects an alternate dimension and the magician's orders are accommodated by reality however necessary. But unless the magician also use extra magics to adjust the other relevant forces, they may get an unwanted result because of reality's simple and forceful interpretation of their wish. Tatsuya gave a good example of this in v2 about an egg.

If unnatural movement is requested - acceleration and etc. happens naturally.
If separation magic is used - movement and acceleration etc. happens naturally.
And as I said, the egg example was just confusing to me.

That's how i kind of interpreted it.
If you give speed to an object with magic, there should be one of two things:
- it's accelerated, and following Newton's 2nd Law, it's exactly as if a force is applied to the object.
- it isn't accelerated, because magic. It just gains speed, which means, in the referential of the object, nothing actually happens. (Until a wall jumps at it or something.)

So, which is which magic, and why should it break an egg?
