What is Magic?

I thought I would toss this out as a discussion topic so that people can share their thoughts on the matter and perhaps some of our less experienced members can learn more about what magic is really all about.

Everyone here has spoken of magic. There have been debates over classifications of it (i.e. the black or white debate). We've spoken about the fact that it isn't the kind of thing that Hollywood likes to make movies about.

But all of these discussions haven't really looked at the heart of the matter. What is magic? How does it work? Where does it come from? Why is it here?

So...how does everyone here view magic?

1. Is it a natural force one can shape with will alone?
2. Is it the power of the gods?
3. Or is it simply based upon saying the right words and having the right supplies?

I hope we'll get a good discussion going here. I'll put in my 2 cents a bit later to contribute how I see magic.
