The way i heard it is that every electronic device runs on smoke. Once removed, it stops working.

Yep, it's the magic smoke. A wizard casts a spell and the puff of smoke is collected and sealed in a slab. Inscriptions are added to the top for potentiating the effect, along with runes and geometric patterns on the board.
