What is magic

[Shadow of Light]

Magic or magick is the process of causing change to occur by the application
and direction of energy through the use of your Will. Many people add a "k" to
magic to distinguish true magick from stage tricks.

Magick is a broad term given to the ability to make events occur in accordance
with one's true Will by the application of sufficient energy

In other words, magick is the direction of energy to a desired goal or purpose.
It is a manipulation of the more subtle forms of energy.

Ok. Enery is drawn from many different points. Metal, spiritual, chakra. (corect me if I'm wrong) Mental energy is refered to as bio- or electro-magnetic energy. This is the thing scientists use to explain ghosts. Can't realy explain chakras. The last , the piritual is the one where power is taken from the astral body located in the astral plains. For this you may need a lot of experience with AP (astral projection).
