Magick is defined as the energy field that surrounds the world, giving 
it existence.  Mortals skilled in the magickal arts are able to manipulate
this energy to their own benefit, either through sorcery, the violent magick
of wizards, or through prayers to an idol or deity spirit, as clerics and avatars
do.  The civilized world fears sorcery and sorcerers for their destructive powers,
but they have no problem with religious magicks.  Thus, clerics and other religious
powers dominate modern civilization's societal government.
