Magic in fiction refers to the use of supernatural elements that defy the laws of nature, often serving as a central theme or plot device. It allows authors to create fantastical worlds where characters can perform extraordinary feats, such as casting spells, flying, or communicating with mythical creatures. This element of magic can enhance storytelling by introducing conflict, adventure, and wonder. In many works, such as those found in fantasy literature, magic systems are established with specific rules and limitations. Examples include J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, where wizards use wands and spells, and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, where magic is woven into the fabric of the world. These systems help maintain consistency and engage readers' imaginations.
