I don’t know about the rest of your article, but the first paragraph is more or less the premise of Break Them All. The main character is an accidental dimensional traveler who receives tutoring in the ways of higher sorcery, so that as he wanders the worlds looking for a way home, he will still be able to do his own magic, rather than relying on each dimension’s conceptual frameworks for their local magic.
He then later discovers that the more-or-less scientific approach to magic makes him pretty OP in most dimensions, and in one his kind of sorcery makes him a “kill on sight” type of threat precisely because people who work directly with raw magic and physics are the most dangerous possible kind of wizard.
(The author claims that Break Them All won’t be interesting to people who aren’t reading the Worm fanfic it’s a prequel to, but I disagree: unlike its sequel, Break Them All hasn’t become bogged down by a cast of literally hundreds of sapient spiders who have different superpowers and varying sizes but barely distinguishable personalities.)
