Hmm, this was a very interesting read. Just to make sure I understood it correctly, I’m going to summarize your statement as “The term magic as used to describe special abilities in an alternate world is overused and often deceptive as it can be confused with real magic.”
Hard agree on that one. Personally, I have often decided not to read books purely because the descriptor “Magical” or “Magic” was in the description or somewhere in the reviews. (Searching for new reads is usually a very fast process. The average time it takes me to pick out the ‘magic’ books is about ten seconds XD)
Other than that, this isn’t something I have any new insights on, but I’ll be keeping an eye on the discussion, thanks for starting it! 🙂
