Line 75:
* ''[[Runaways]]'' features the Staff of One, which can do practically anything (save bring someone back to life). However, its spells can only ever be used once, and attempting to cast the same spell twice would do something random. Despite this, Alex Wilder once got hold of the Staff and managed to cast the same spell repeatedly; this hinted at a loophole where you could get a similar or identical effect by using a synonym or the same word in another language. In the first ''[[Runaways]]''/''[[Young Avengers]]'' crossover, Nico took advantage of the Vision's on-board thesaurus and language capabilities to wreak utter havoc.
* Subverted in Matt Wagner's ''Mage'' arc; in ''The Hero Discovered'', Kevin Matchstick's mentor Mirth told him that "Magic is Green." Subsequently, Kevin's various magic feats are invariably depicted in a greenish hue. In the sequel, ''The Hero Defined'', Wally Utt ( {{spoiler|a different face of Mirth}}) said that Kevin was taught "Magic is Green" so he could visualize magic more easily. As Utt revealed, "Magic isn't any color. Magic ''is'' color!"

* A growing plot point in ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' is the Unified Theory of Magic developed in Douglas Sangnoir's home timeline after decades of investigation by a combined team of mages and physicists. It purports to be the underlying core reality of magic as well as explaining how dozens of often contradictory magical traditions can all work.
Line 80 ⟶ 84:
* Disney's version of ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' puts rules on genie magic. They can't kill anyone, force someone to fall in love, or bring people back from the dead ([[Came Back Wrong|"It's not a pretty picture; I don't like doing it!!!"]]). Genie doesn't mention it at first, but also eventually adds that they can't use their magic to serve themselves.
** The [[Animated Series]] added that mixing different kinds of magic is a bad idea, because it produces unpredictable results. This is used as a reason why Genie can't just undo any magic used by villains. It's also hinted that lamp-bound genies are more powerful than free ones, presumably because the bound ones have wishes to grant.
