Magic (otherwise known as "Wiki Magic"[1]), in a general sense, is a Thing defined as "the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces."[2] In the context of The Wiki Camp 2, let's simply define it as supernatural means to an end.
System
The three core principles of magic are creation, destruction, and modification[3]. Everyone tends to be aligned with one of these, although they can be aligned between any of them too. Everyone applies magic in their own special little ways! Some people say that what counts as "magic" to one person is just something completely normal to another person. That's ridiculous! Don't believe anyone who says that. Isn't this such a big deal? This will drastically affect The Wiki Camp 2.
Creation
The power of creation is invaluable. Some say the universe itself was created through creation! It's actually the best one if you think about it, because you get the power to create stuff and it's awesome. Look I have the power to create words: poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis poobis isn't that neat?
Destruction
You can say "fuck off" to anyone who's aligned with this one, they're all a pain! Everyone's always like "rah rah im going to break all your things" and it's like NO! STOP! Ugh.
Modification
These people are pests! Just don't touch stuff! Stay away! Shoo! Shoo!
