'''Physical''' force is not really discussed in [[lore]] as a [[cosmic force]], but is assumed to be all the interactions that are not represented by the effects of other [[cosmic forces]].

== In World of Warcraft ==
In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', "physical" is a damage type (classified as a [[magic schools (WoW)#Physical|school of magic]]) inflicted by all melee attacks, some ranged attacks, and the special abilities of [[druid]]s, [[hunter]]s, [[rogue]]s, and [[warrior]]s. Physical damage can be reduced by [[armor]], [[block]]ed by shields, and dodge. Melee physical attacks can be [[parry|parried]], and all physical attacks can miss. Block and parry do not work against attack from behind. All weapons except [[wand]]s deal physical damage and damage can be increased by increasing [[Attack Power]]. Some offensive Physical abilities, like Thunder Clap and Piercing Howl, aren't treated as physical attacks but rather as spells, and as such have a base resistance chance but otherwise can not be avoided.  This resistance chance can not be increased.
