The problem with Synthesis as space magic vs. the rest of the game's space magic: it's not explained, nor is it internally consistent.
Mass Effect is very, very much like Gundam in that Magic A is Magic A. It explains everything. Everything is internally consistent. Synthesis is not. It's blatant deus ex machina. Even "telepathy" was explained during the Leviathan DLC, where Ann Bryson tells you that the rachni communication methods are basically an organic quantum entanglement communications system. Same with the Leviathans and their mental domination powers.
Eezo and mass effect fields are the Minovsky particle of the ME universe, but the Synthesis ending makes no goddamned sense even in context!
