A lot of contemporary films, games and TV shows about superheroes and superhuman abilities evoke blue-sky thinking. If you have ever dreamed of having a superpower but did not know which one, we offer you the list of types of magic to kick start y.our dreams
Superpowers entertain us through films, from movies, games and books. If you envy your favourite heroes and want to know more about the types of magic powers, you have an excellent opportunity to do so now.
Top 5 types of magic
Elements of magic are contained in the religious traditions of most nations of the world. Defining the different types of magic is as complicated as defining magic itself. Magic practitioners all over the globe recognize multiple types of magic; we will tell you about the most generally used types:
- Ceremonial magic, also known as high magic, is a common term used in the Western world to describe various lengthy, elaborate and complex magical rituals. Ceremonial magic is called so because it includes ceremonies and a variety of necessary magic tools designed to promote this practice.
- Folk magic is a summary of accumulated knowledge, beliefs and skills based on the theory and experiences of indigenous persons and people of different cultures, regardless of whether we can explain them or not. This practice is used to maintain health, as well as for the prevention, diagnosis and improvement of physical and mental disorders.
- One of the most ancient kinds of magic is witchcraft. It could be both black and white. In the old days, witches are not only evil women but also herbalists and healers who practised only white magic.
- The magic of the left and right hand, unfortunately, does not have an exact definition. The followers of the left-hand movement are those who worship everything connected with evil. The followers of the right-hand magic path are those who are engaged in healing and helping.
- Black and white magic are the most ancient teachings and cause anxiety and fear. Magicians involved in this type of activity are deemed strange in our modern society. In the world of magic, there is no clear division by colour. This is a specific field of activity in different directions.
Top types of magic powers
The topic of magic powers is especially popular among teenagers. Some dream of being invulnerable, and some invisible, some people want to be able to pass through walls, and others want to move at the speed of light. A wide range of such dreams inspired the authors of comics, and then — filmmakers. Here is the list of magical powers that are known in the contemporary world:
- Abberation (distortion) is the ability to distort either reality or time. The power is very dangerous, and it is too hard to master. Most often it is manifested in people with physical disabilities or in mutants who have experienced severe stress.
- Absolute memory is instant memorization of any amount of information and long-term storage of it in mind.
- Autogenesis is the ability to create any chemically poisonous gas from the air or other gaseous substances, but it is impossible to control their movement. The most interesting thing is that it is only the first stage in the development of this ability: the second is a manifestation of technology, or control of machinery, mechanisms (not electrics!)
- The generation of spikes on the body means the emergence from the skin of poisonous spikes.
- Poison generation is the ability to generate poison from the palms, hands, and other parts of the body.
- Hydrokinesis is the ability to control water.
- Hypnosis is the introduction of an opponent into some kind of trance, to control people to their own will.
- The deformation of reality is a change of reality or adjusting it for yourself.
- Agnosticism. With the help of voice vibrations, it is possible to control people and other creatures, subjugating their minds to themselves. Few people have immunity to this power.
- The adamantium skeleton is more likely not an ability, but simply a rare phenomenon, also acquired as a result of surgical intervention. Adamantium is super strong, and it cannot be destroyed, which makes the skeleton invulnerable.
- Adsorption is the magic power giving one the opportunity to absorb any objects.
- Allyurism (running) is the ability to develop fast speed. The body is rebuilt under pressure for the development of high speed. If people mastered this power well, they would be able to reach the speed that is numerically equal to the speed of light.
- Ammonalism is the ability to create ammonia crystals and explode everything with their help. It is a dangerous superpower because the outcome of the explosion is unpredictable. The larger the created crystal, the greater the blast wave.

- Amphibicism. With this ability, you can be under water for eternity: your airways are rearranged in such a way that the fish gills work. People with this power cannot stay without water for a long time.
- Analyticism is the power to quickly analyze (think through) situations of various kinds in critical situations. Everything is explained very simply: adrenaline entering the blood stimulates gene X, which begins to accelerate all body functions. In such cases, the ability is very similar to Allyurism, but there is one thing: after the "speed bursts", a person is very depleted. The same happens with a very long flow of adrenaline in the blood.
