What about magic anyway?

So I am going to do my ethics paper on the use of magic in literature from a Christian perspective. Specifically, is it okay in light of the biblical stance against using magic in real life for a Christian to have magic which is used or endorsed by the protagonists or anyone that would be associated with them and their side. I think the place to start would be to find out what the Bible means when it speaks of magic. Many of the things we do today might have been seen as magic in the ancient world. So what is the Bible prohibiting and why? I have a few ideas already, but does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Its the ring man! You are just like the rest - you want the Ring of Power for yourself. See how it has already corrupted you?

On a different note, would my rifles be considered magic by primitive cultures? What about my brewed tea?

Yes, as Ash would say, "This is my boom stick, and there are going to be a few changes around here."

Tea is still magic.
