Fairy Tail doesn’t usually use science in anything. The one time it did was when Natsu fought against Erigor. Something about how wind and fire relate to high pressure areas. But this magic as it’s explains as it is based off Alchemy from FullMetal is that. While it uses magical energy it follows the laws of physics. Many anime series explain alchemy as being in the middle of magic and science. Using magic and scientific knowledge together. It could be written that it’s Taboo to use Transmutation to destroy or create out of thin air is forbidden. Not that it’s impossible.

Many forget that magic has to follow its own rules, and breaking them causes magical backfires on the caster.
