Magic in fiction
Magic in fiction is the endowing of fictional characters or objects with magical powers.
Such magic often serves as a plot device, being the source of magical artefacts and their quests. Magic has long been a component of fantasy fiction, where it has been a mainstay from the days of Homer and Apuleius, down through the tales of the Holy Grail, Edmund Spenser's ''The Faerie Queene'', and to more contemporary authors from J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis to Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Jordan, Terry Brooks, J.K. Rowling, Mercedes Lackey or Derek Landy
==Plot function==
Within a work of fantasy, magic can function to move the plot forward, providing both power for the hero of the story and power for those who oppose him/her. The use of magic is often a transformation of the character, if not the world.
In order to carry out its function, magic often carries a price, equal to its value. (See Limits to magic below.)
