Magic is an art which proposes to make use of the supernatural to control or overcome natural events. Some races, such as the Megans or the Q appear to use magic. Some religous groups also claim to use magic, such as witches. (TAS: "The Magicks of Megas-tu")
Magic in the universe of Megas-Tu
In the alternate universe in which Megas-Tu is located, magic is the natural law. When the Enterprise was accidentaly transported to this universe through the creation point in the galactic core, they found that they could use magic abilities that did not exist in the normal universe. Spock explored these new abilities by drawing a pentagram on the floor, and while standing in it, used the power of his belief to move a vulcan chess piece. Sulu used magic to conjur up a beautiful woman before Lucien warned him that using mental powers would attract unwanted attention. (TAS: "The Magicks of Megas-tu")
