    We continue to degrade the mythological with the mundane.

    Dear god, is that the best you can do? I personally can read. How did you come across the word?

    Santa isn't real, and most people have heard of him.

    Santa (upper case.) Often goes by Santa Claus, sometimes Kris Kringle, sometimes St. Nick or Papa Christmas. Gives out lots of unmarked boxes to kids, has an eight or nine engine aircraft (depending who you talk to) that slips through our airspace undetected, is an expert in infiltrating buildings, has minions who do his bidding in a small lab . . . .

    Wait a minute. Has the Department of Homeland Security heard about this guy? I heard that "Kringle" is an Arab name.

    If magic wasn't real, Harry Potter would be a fictional character.

    Luckily the Order of the Phoenix is at hand to defend reality.

    Magic is quite real. But nobody can control it. You have to give yourself up to it.

    I have it on good authority from the Soul Cake Duck that he isn't real.

    Please can you provide the definition or understanding of magic that you are working to, please, for you to be able to make these claims? Thanks.

    No, he can't. Nothing rational anyway.

    A rough working definition of magic is the ability to effect change in the world and in oneself thru the manipulation of information. Consciousness is the prime example of magic in our world. The emergence of a transphysical property from a physical reality.

    Yeah, that's works. In Marvel and DC.

    Since when is consciousness "transphysical"?

    The Oxford English Dictionary of Babble doesn't have that definition.
