In a lot of fantasy worlds (and in Whitewolf) Magick is true, as in it's the thing with fireballs and stuff, while Magic is pulling rabbits out of hats.

But that's not quite right either. Pulling rabits out of hats already has a word for it: Prestidigitation. It's the art of creating the illusion that you can work magic.
Since a true prestidigitationist's goal is to convince his audience that he can work magic, people came to confuse the definitions of prestidigitation and magic. [ 10-26-2001: Message edited by: Maradön? ]

Yup the Yankees will be damned after the D-Backs slaughter them. =P
Yes, I know it's not spelled damb. Yes, I know it's spelled damn. I started a thread bashing deliberate misspellings that contained a deliberate misspelling. I thought it ironic to do so, and thus funny. I apparently thought wrong.

Is it a deliberate misspelling? Yes. Do I give a flying fuck? Hell no! (And Ford is 100% right. This is by far not the first time you've insisted that "damn" is spelled "damb", so quit throwing stones or I'm gonna send some Globe photographers to your glass house. )

the k in Magik was added in the last 100 years to seperate real magik from the illusions that people call magic in modern days.

No such thing, sorry. 
Beliefs and religious ritual are one thing--and perfectly fine--but let's not be too hasty with claiming magic exists. Or at least site some scientific proof.

Actually, I missed the connection entirely.
It's one thing to have religious beliefs. It's quite another to tell me I have to believe them, too. If you're going to do the latter, you need proof.

You mean like Magick, or Magicks?In a lot of fantasy worlds (and in Whitewolf) Magick is true, as in it's the thing with fireballs and stuff, while Magic is pulling rabbits out of hats.
Actually, in White Wolf, Magick is the stuff that breaks the laws of reality, and Magic is the weaker stuff that works WITH the laws of reality.
Magick=Attempt to level Tokyo, die from Paradox backlash
Magic=Brewing a whisky that will get even a Fianna Ahroun trashed after one swig, but that's all you can do.
As for other uses, sometimes there IS a difference. Such as:
Magic=Casting spells, summoning bunnies into hats
Magick=Firing up people's immaginations and belief till THEY (without realizing it) cast the spell or summon the hat bunny
Magic
Magick
Magik
Majick
Majik
which is right?
all of them
Majick/Majick is preferred by most Wiccans and Druids because to them it's the true spelling for what they do.
Magic is basicaly basterdised from Majik.jick for like stage shows.. Hudini, Copperfield.. people like that. hand tricks, smoke and mirrors, a *really* limber body...
Does it matter? na not really

I, honestly, dont prefer it. I think it's just a bastardization of magic. But that's just the ramblings of a closet Wiccan. :Þ Everyone's entitled to their own opinions
it swings both way m'dear =P

The "k" is not a recent addition. It's more of a going back to the medieval form to ellicit an ancient feel for the word.
