  ORIGINS OF MAGIC - Introduction
The "origins of magic" that we seek and refer to here, are that of at which time "magic" was first recognized as an art form and amusing entertainment.
It is believed that "magic" is based on the Greek word "magi", a word used (by the Grecians) to describe the priestly members of the ancient caste of Zoroaster followers, when they migrated from Persia to Greece.
These words might have served as a warning to the first deceivers and tricksters, who dared to cross the line of morality and honesty with their newfounded skills.

 Chapter 4: The Magic of the Word
While magic includes the use of objects directly and symbolically, in the ancient Near East the word, written as well as spoken, is featured prominently in ritual and magic.
This aspect of the sacred word is even evident in several myths from Mesopotamia and Egypt in which a goddess must get the secret name from a god in order to achieve her desired goal.
Or, as in sympathetic magic, you have a thing which is linked to the object of the spell, and what you do to that thing is considered to happen to the object of the spell.

 History of Artsci - Magic Window word processor for the Apple II
One measurement of the ease of using a word prqcessor is its "transparency"-the similarity between what appears on the screen and what is printed as final copy.
From this standpoint, Magic Window, written by Gary Shannon with revision and documentation by Bill Depew, may be the best word processing system available for the standard 4O-column Apple II computer.
Magic Window menus are paragons of simplicity: use the arrow keys to move a white bar over the function you want, press Return to execute that function.

 Is There a Difference Between Witchcraft and Magic?
Not one of the definitions of the Greek and Hebrew words describes or implies this second definition of the word magic which is used for entertainment purposes and which has no relationship with occult practices.
Because this word is closely related to the Hebrew word translated cloud, it may refer to the reading and interpretation of cloud patterns.
Another thought is that this is an onomatopoetic word, a word that is derived from the sound of the individual performing the practice.

 Improvisational Magic as the Only Magic
When I wrote the Improvisational Magic rules for GURPS Magic, I assumed that improvising a spell was the magical equivalent of the default system.
If Improvisational Magic is the only magic, the GM may allow the players to roll only once per spell, instead of once per Word.
If the Words are averaged to arrive at one skill roll, doubling time to cast is sufficient to grant a +1 to skill or -1 to fatigue.

 Magic word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magic words are words which have a specific, and sometimes unintended, effect.
Magic words are also used as Easter eggs or cheats in computer games, other software, and operating systems.
Craig Conley, a scholar of magic, writes that the magic words used by conjurors may orginate from "pseudo-Latin phrases, nonsense syllables, or esoteric terms from religious antiquity," but that what they have in common is "language as an instrument of creation."
