Some of your "theory" is of the Occult, and not magic at all! Magic, real magic, is changing one or more things into something entirely different.When scientists discover a new type of drug, by mixing other drugs, and perhaps adding a new ,recent drug. That is magic! Changing one thing into something else.
Gods, Demons, Spirits, Angels, ad infinitum, that is the Occult, not magic!

That is why I added the definition of magic that I used into the theory itself. Magic is usually used as a catchall for a wide variety of beliefs and I used it as such here. I do agree with you regarding entities though but I included them as a general nod. I belief that is why they do not follow this rule and meant to include that but I guess I forgot to
I also believe that magic is natural which is a cornerstone of the theory above. What I was arguing was that magic could not accomplish the unnatural and including that its effect could not be guaranteed.
Yes, indeed! Most of your theory is correct. I am a witch; and I can, and have many times over the years, demonstrate magic.Nobody has ever been able to show me a spirit!
My opinion is that magic is based on the existence of a "spiritual" worlds. Meaning not just this physical.
I write "Spiritual" intentionally in quotation marks.
See spiritual alchemy, gnostic, magic or some eastern and older texts.
There is - according those opinions - several finer worlds and several finer bodies. A "magick" make these subtle forms of existence.
If you want to harden this theory (harden as in actually support with some form of evidence although possibly make the theory more complicated) then you can reference the laws of physics right here.
The laws of physics can't ever be broken and have yet to be proven to be broken. Newtons first law of physics states the law of inertia: objects at rest tend to stay at rest, objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
This applies in more than just motion, it's essentially cause and effect. An effect cannot exist without a cause. For example, no one will give you a job without some way receiving the idea to. However there are multiple causes to multiple effects and some of which you cannot personally control. For example, in order for you to get a job there needs to be a job opening. Second you need to go apply for the job. Third they need some reason to choose you over all other candidates. Also this theory wouldn't end here. This theory can provide reason for what factors precisely can magic influence and how those causes lead to effects. You don't have to drag this theory along that far because who knows how far the rabbit hole goes.
I think alot of what you said makes sense. I believe that anything can be possible with magic if you have the will powere to make it happen within reason of cause. I've noticed with some spells they only influence what you want to happen and not so much make it happen out of nowhere. Alot of the times it's a matter of if it needs to happen an what your reason is for casting the spell or performing the magic! Love your theories though you took it deeper then most people would thing when it comes to magic an the craft!
Its my darn analytical mind at work lol. I see something work then I ask myself why and how. I basically believe that magic is a natural occurring event that science hasn't figured out how to explain yet.
Or to question things from a psychology perspective, maybe magick really just enhances our confidence and feeling of control to obtain our desired result. Or, science has not proven it yet.
