Off the cuff, I'd say magic is characterized as an agency that is 
similar to divine power except that it can be made to do a mortal's 
bidding. Magic can be couched in material vessels like charms, fetishes, 
or talking fish, but has the capacity to do what the the invoker 
subjectively means to do rather than what the material vessels would 
otherwise do as judged by objective observers.
