I think Zelzany wrote another book called _The_Changeling_ about something
like this(somebody out there check this).  The setting was a parallel universe
to our own where magic functions.  It was about how two babies got switched
between the two universes by a powerful magician.  The one from the "magical"
universe grows up not quite fitting in the "scientific" universe.  The one from
the "scientific" universe has the same problem but uses the scientific knowledge
that comes naturally to him to attempt to take over his world.  Eventually
the confrontation is between the two characters and between science and magic.
Of course it's been a while since I read it so I can't be sure of author, title
or plot.  Anybody out there recall a story like this?
