Another Monthly Chat, this time about magical stuffs.
So we know that Magical elements exist, from what we covered
Here, about enchanting, and from our History of the world going back to ancient times with the Elves of the Ibarhian Empire. We've got a significant number of magical elements that are still present in our day to day lore. From weaponry and tools to Pyrencian sorcery related blood parasites (confirmation needed, although im pretty sure this is correct(ish)), floating terrain and more!

Extra-dimensional travel. The Nether. The End. While these two dont need an explanation per se, getting to them does. It might be a bit of a stretch to say that there are wormhole and exotic particle savvy physicists within the Empire when we haven't even discovered internal combustion engines yet (Another discussion
HereFloating terrain. Again, could be an element from the past that has occurred and saturated the area in magic, or things that are on ley lines or focus points of ley lines to cause such occurrences.
- Non-gameplay use of magicI.e. Pyrencian Blood Parasites, Sorcery employed by magic wielders. Any other possible use. Where does the magic come from?
- Skeletons, Zombies, Zombie Pigmen, Wither Skeletons, Withers, - We also have yet to explain how it is that undead are able to exist in the game to the best of my knowledge, which could lead to some very interesting theories indeed.

Endermen + The Ender Dragon are also theoretically magic, as how else is a being supposed to teleport through dimensions and across landscapes?
-
Creepers also, although this might be a tough one to explain or come up with a reason for them. A remnant of some horrific war that has self propagated since then?
Anything else I haven't touched upon feel free to bring up and provoke some interesting thoughts and discussions on them.
