Magic (definition)

Paraphrasing the most accurate definition of the concept:

   Magic is the act of causing change in ones environment in harmony with ones will.

This could range from anything as simple as changing your underwear or finally getting off your ass and calling the student loan company to triggering a Bad Ass Thunderstorm. As a process, Magic is on the base level the act of getting off of your ass and accomplishing your Will- the things you Want to do or realize Need Doing. Popularly misinterpreted as applying strictly to the non-material plane with trickle-down results into the World around the self. An act of Magic is, simply, stating your Goal and Achieving it. Reference Newtons laws of motion with regards to inertia and the process by which existing forces counteract an opposing force. An act of Will on the material plane is easy to record and reproduce: the interaction of the Will on other planes is much more difficult to prove through the Method of Science, and is consequently subject to speculation.
