Magic

Magic, sometimes majyyks, is a force found across MS Paint Adventures.

In Jailbreak
Magic makes its debut in Jailbreak as a special power used primarily by elves, who can,. Both elves and non-elf player characters have a stat, as do.

In Problem Sleuth
objects such as, and  are essential in the process of embarking on the Quest of Spirit.

Though elves and animal communion both reappear in these Quests, their relationship with magic goes unspoken in Problem Sleuth.

In Homestuck
Magic has a much more mysterious and ambiguous place in Homestuck. John Egbert and Jade Harley are both in possession of Magic Chests; however these tend to contain items more related to stage magic than truly supernatural items.

Though items alchemized with images of wizards are HS 1809 (said to have magical properties), Doc Scratch later HS 3632 (calls this into question), suggesting that Rose and other users of 'magic' may in fact be drawing other kinds of power from other sources. Karkat shares a HS 2567 (similar view), expressing that while alchemy and the legendary weapons and items accessible through it are similar to magic, they are [...], and make magic redundant. Despite this, aspects of Sburb such as the players' planets and the powers afforded to them by their mythological roles are often passingly referred to as magical.

Also in spite of Scratch's apparent skepticism regarding the reality of magic, his cueball seeds are usually referred to as "magic", as are HS 5492 (items) HS 1318 (used) by his subordinates. The powers he claims to have taught to the Handmaid are also referred to as HS 4068.

The miracles referred to by Gamzee Makara are often HS 2010 (associated with the concept of magic), as per the "magic miracles" referred to in Insane Clown Posse's 'Miracles'.

The question as to magic's realness or fakeness continues as a recurring theme throughout Homestuck. HS 2378 (Magic and miracles are both jointly dismissed as made up and not real), as are HS 2101 (fairies) and HS 2439 (wizards) (though HS 2126 (dragons apparently are)). Eridan HS 2475 (also insists) that magic is fake, while Rose HS 3632 (seems to be of the opinion that it is real) and HS 4988 (continues to vouch for its realness) even after Scratch's questioning (though another version of Rose seems to dismiss her magic as just HS 7813). Andrew Hussie HS 4807 (hopes for magic to be real) until its HS 4809 (apparent fakeness leads to his death). Calliope believes magic is HS 5029 (and has used HS 5625 (ANTI-SLEEP MAJYYKS) on at least one occasion) but only works HS 5113 (when one's wand has bullets in it).
