and don't forget 'magik'
basically, magic and magick are real words (according to wikipedia), magic describing in simplest sense any sort of supernatural ability or what have you,
magick being any act designed to cause intentional change.
I quote:
Magick is not capable of producing "miracles" or violating the physical laws of the universe (e.g., it cannot cause a solar eclipse), although "it is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature".
now, as we all know normal Magic has at least sixty seven and a third billion different incarnations and all of these systems work differently if only in what word makes your brain explode, so the best way to describe it is that Magick is a form of Magic with very restricted potential in relation to other systems where, for instance, very very powerful Sith lords (starwars) can and have caused stars to collapse with nothing more than their mind. Magick is more about controlling the natural way of things, than forcing them to do weird or even just extreme things.
But then, we are by in large talking about people who make and run RPs, who probably have a statistic of being about 16 years old, meaning they probably just say Magick/Magik to sound different.
