Magic that works. Maybe not exactly the way anyone wanted it to work, but it is not imaginary in the story and you may rely on it to do something. This style of “phlebotinum” is sometimes subject to “magibabble”, its own flavor of technobabble. Depending on the story, it may leave the “Willing Suspension of Disbelief” somewhat unstable. Methods for spellcasting are covered under “Spell Construction”. Compare “Superhero Origin” for gaining the potential for magic, and “Power Source” and “Mana” for fueling it. In many settings, whatever sort of magic is present, not everyone can work it, or some people can work it much better than others. If such a gift only works, or works much better, if the gifted individual is properly trained, that’s “Training the Gift of Magic”… ~ Functional Magic – TV Tropes
