Canon Rap: In case anyone is wondering about the Fate Stay Night entry, Nasuverse separates Magic (or True Magic) from Magecraft. Magic is defined as "impossible miracles" - basically, it can't happen, ever, but it does - and Magecraft is the science of repeating that miracle through Equivalent Exchange (Functional Magic, Magic A Is Magic A).
To give an example, the First Magic is "Denial of Nothingness". And no, Nasu hasn't actually said what that means. Second Magic is "Operation of Parallel Worlds".
Magic/Magecraft may also be translated as Sorcery/Magic or Magic/Thaumaturgy.
Tulling: Removed the WH 40 K example, seeing as it does not really apply here. The Orks have their Mek Boyz that can build a wide variety of powerful gear, including force fields and teleporters. Admittedly they are grown with that knowledge already encoded in their organism, as befits their status as a genetically engineered warrior species. And space hulks were not made by Brainboyz, they are vessels lost in the warp and meshed together that sometimes drop into the Materium and get boarded by Orks who take it for their own purposes. They are capable of willing it to go to wherever they want to go, because they have this unconscious psychic ability that assures that something works if enough orks believe it should work.
A Carlssin: Some trivia, but it doesn't really belong here: The movie The Death of Superman, which thankfully was never made: In a draft script written by Kevin Smith, Jimmy Olsen amazes everyone with his ability to use the internet. Not only does this cause Perry White concern that Jimmy might be doing something illegal, it gives Jimmy the ability to break into Lex Luthor's personal computer. In other words, anyone with the skill to use the internet must be a hacker, with the skill to break into one of the most secure computers on the planet.
Took out the "s" out of "Expanded Universes" for the Star Wars example because there is only one. It's like saying "Internets".
