<Snipped quote by Meta>

Magic-users tend to use the term in many different ways. Magic, in terms of doing things, is the use of magical energy in order to perform what might be called "the supernatural"--that is, influencing philotes in ways that most beings cannot. Magic, in terms of the power behind it, is magical energy, in whatever form it happens to come in.

So it's a type of energy like heat?
