To me, magic/k is energy working and manipulation. Manipulating the energy that is found all around us in nature to help us in some way.
The more you believe, the more magic/k is likely to work for you. Of the spells I have cast, those that I do not believe will work never do, but those that I believe will work seem to.
Both belief and knowledge about the aspect of magic you are taking part in will help your chances of it working for you.

Magic is doing something to change it from its current state of being into something else, possibly through spells or rituals. You must believe a spell will work if you are to accomplish what it is you seek, and knowledge of how to do so. A belief in spirits to help you is not necessarily 'magic', whether or not a 'spiritual entity' helps or not is beside the point, relatively speaking.
like energy manipulation, to change something (not like physically changing instantly though)
but you could get so much deeper too lol :P its like asking what air is- um... what you breathe?
or
a combination of 73% nitrogen 32% oxygen 1% some other mixture (just an example... dont take my word lol is been too long i learned this)
Magic is changing one or more things into something different. If you mix Copper with Tin it changes into a totally different metal; bronze. And that, believe it it or not, is magic!

I would define it like applying quantum physics to a newtonian world.
And how to get better at it? Well, You can not learn to fight from a book. You have to learn things and try them out, find out what works for You.
And to Brysing, bronze is not a metal but an alloy. But don't worry, you can still change one metal to another, by a nuclear reaction.
Of course bronze is an alloy. All mixed metals are alloys.But it is rather obvious that bronze is neither Copper nor Tin; but it is definitely metal! It's not stone is it?
I would say that magick is using a finer forces of nature.
When you want have a real power, so you must understand before what you're doing and why so that you magick working.

Did someone just delete my reaction to that nonsense "if it is not stone it has to be metal"?
