[It'll never stop being weird that Spock is talking about magic. Part of Uhura will always think "oh god Spock what are you even..."]

There seems to be a lot of variance in the whole concept, depending on which world people come from.

In Buffy's world, language seems to play a rather important role. I'll have to read up on it. I haven't studied Latin in years.

I can only tell you about thaumaturgy, a force in my world which seems to resemble the forces called magic in other worlds. It comes from charged particles called thaumaturgons. Machines powered by elyctricity can manipulate or detect thaumaturgons. I once saw thaumaturgy used to draw fulmen, elyctric elementals, to power an engine.

You will find very few here more experienced with the matter than myself. Are there any specifics you wish to know?
