The concept of magic plays an important role throughout the mythos of Planet Nine. Within The Stack itself, MAGIC 
is the protocol which ties the interoperable pieces of the Planet Nine platform together. I figured it'd be a good idea to discuss what the concept of magic means to me as it's one of those ideas that's often used without explanation or consideration for any notion of consistency.
Of course magic more or less exists to encompass that which lacks explanation and consistency. Webster's definition is more or less that magic is something which exerts _super_natural control over natural forces (emphasis mine). And for most this relegates magic to the realm of story. For me, however, this makes it very clear that magic is real. I won't try and convince you of that, but I do want to try and give you some insight into why I think that way.
