Magic from WikiPedia:

Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is the practice of consciousness manipulation and/or autosuggestion to achieve a desired result, usually by techniques described in various conceptual systems. The practice is often influenced by ideas of religion, mysticism, occultism, science, and psychology.

Through late 14th century Old French magique, the word "magic" derives via Latin magicus from the Greek adjective magikos (???????) used in reference to the "magical" arts of the Magicians (Greek: magoi, singular mágos, ?????); the Zoroastrian astrologer priests. Greek mágos is first attested in Heraclitus (6th century BC, apud. Clement Protrepticus 12) who curses the Magians and others for their "impious rites." Greek magikos is attested from the 1st century Plutarch, typically appearing in the feminine, in ?????? ????? (magike techne, Latin ars magica) "magical art."
