Assuming magic as it is portrayed in media is possible

ooo so close.

If it was like the movies it would either be public knowledge or covered up somehow (memory altering spells are sometimes used in fiction).
I recall witchcraft getting brought up in a trial sometime in '08-09. Cant recall how it ruled.

>>18145653
They would assume the eyewitnesses were mis-describing a weird, homemade taser.

If you have hundreds of witnesses who see you assault a person - no matter how - and that person dies after, then at best you're getting charged with manslaughter.

Let's say something more blatantly "fantastic" then, I'm not OP by the way.

Let's say you started glowing, lifted someone up with telekinesis while waving your hands, yelled "ABRA KADABRA" and they blew up in a cloud of guts and glitter.

How would they charge you then?

With murder. You can be charged with and found guilty of murder even when there's no body or a body too badly decomposed or too mutilated to determine the cause of death. All a prosecutor needs to show is motive and opportunity.

So if I accuse my neighbor of murdering my dog by blowing him up in a cloud of magic pink sparkles he would be charged for murder?

Magic don't work that way, it's invisible and will appear "natural" every time. This is why its practice was illegal during certain times in history, you can get away with anything if you use magic. Unless of course you mess with another wizard or group of them.

Today this is the invisible war noone knows about. You can see the casualties but unless you know what is going on you can't understand it's a war.

He means harry potter shit and kamehamehas, not your edgelord shitposting.

Yep

First and foremost, if you think a civilian bringing up a lawsuit ever does ANY work to convict the person they're suing, you're fucking incorrect. The legal system in the United States was created as a business to get convictions, so they're incredibly good at it. The case would result in you mentioning pink sparks once, then no one taking you seriously as your prosecutor convicts the fuck out of this guy for dog murder.

That said, magical courts exist, but there are too many groups with differing laws and policies to say anything more than police your coven/circle. And don't do magic alone unless you're told often that you're a good person by mundane people.

Someone already bring up Kekromancers? That magic works. Shadilay.

i'm 100% convinced internet magick, internet demons and ghosts, internet induced demonic possessions, porn is a tool to create succubuses, all the self-hypnosis videos online are made by occult practitioners, etc, etc.

internet makes the global consciousness real and malleable permitting witness-able forms of magicks

Call it what you will.

But I think it comes down to a collective conscience focusing on a certain aspect creates enough intensity of thought to make it a reality.

tl;dr we're fucking orks

Well depends, there is Thelxis and Praxis, Indirect and Direct, etc. etc. Magic. Though unless it's self-defense or was barely avoidable then in any of the normie Witch's court or Phaecian Courts you're golden. Humans you are probably fucked.

>>18145653
it wouldnt be a court case. we have freedom of religion in america. in the UK its illegal to "pretend" to practice magic . its a old law from way back but its only illegal to pretend. if you can actually preform magic its not illegal

only in the most back water parts of the world are people tried for witch craft

>>18147646
Okay son hang on, they wouldn't just think I was a schizo and tell me to fuck off before I'm jailed for wasting police time.

They would actually charge the guy if they could prove my dog was dead, just because I accused him of doing it, even with magic?

Can we get a lawyer in here, I call shenanigans.

The prosecutor would have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, which is defined as 95-99% certainty, that the guy killed your dog. Without some kind of outside evidence, conviction is impossible. However, the method he used is irrelevant. If you could somehow prove that he used magic to kill your dog, like with eyewitness testimony, he would be charged with the crime all the same.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I direct your attention to Exhibit A – the high capacity magic wand.

Is it true, Mr. Merlin, that you do not possess a permit issued by the State for said wand?

Your honor, I present a receipt for 20 eyes of newt and 10 toes of frog.

Investigators found remnants of said ingredients in the cauldron that was located in Mr. Merlin's cave on the night of the alleged Banishment Beyond the Netherrealm to Uth'taralla's Vortex
