{{quote|'''Pinkie Pie:''' What's not to believe? You do magic, what's the difference?
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Huge! For one thing... ''[[Soapbox Sadie|[climbs onto]] [[Visual Pun|a soapbox]]]'' magic is something you study and practice. It only happens when you decide to do it. It's meant to make something specific that you want to happen happen. With you, ugh, it makes no sense at all!

[[In a World]] where [[Magic A Is Magic A]] there is one character, possibly a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] or [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]], or probably anyone who’s just [[Crazy Awesome]] who uses Magic B, Magic C or even [[Rule of Three|Magic Q]]. This character tends to be the only one with this ability.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
Compare [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]], [[Un-Equal Rites]] and [[Wild Magic]]. Contrast [[Rule Magic]]. Related but contradictory to [[Magic A Is Magic A]]. Characters who do this without realizing they're breaking the rules are accomplishing [[Achievements in Ignorance]]. Can be related to [[Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond]], if used correctly.

Line 31 ⟶ 32:
** [[X-Men|ScarletWitch]]: While she's always had [[Power Creep, Power Seep]], there was no indication before [[House of M]] that she could rewrite the ''entire universe,'' just that she was dangerous when insane.

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' magic depends on the Warp, aka where the demons live, [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Perils_of_the_Warp who will happily materialize through the head of careless (and very careful) psykers alike]. Most, if not all [[Crossover Fic]]s with magical characters make them immune to any of this, as their magic comes from a different source.
Line 84 ⟶ 85:
** Combustion Man has a very unique form of firebending that allows him to make things explode by looking at them.
** Whenever Sokka has to deal with any magical stuff that isn't bending-related, he lampshades it as this. Spirits are so unscientific. (He doesn't even try to explain Aang, though; "that's Avatar stuff, it doesn't count.")
* ''[[The Fairly Oddparents]]'' has the Magic Muffin from [[The Movie]] "Abra-Catastrophe", which gives anyone who takes a bite a single wish that's exempt from "Da Rules" that normally constrain fairy magic.
* ''[[My Little Pony:
** Pinkie Pie has her "Pinkie Sense", odd jitters and twitches connected to visions of the future.
*** And the ability to appear exactly where she needs to be to fill whatever joke she is currently enforcing. For example, in one episode she is always hiding exactly where Twilight Sparkle is whenever Twilight is about to break a promise. Even to the point where she {{spoiler|''almost bursts out of Twilight's mouth''.}} Though this particular ability is probably not Magic but more likely simply a result of Pinkie Pie living under the laws of [[Toon Physics]].
