Wiktionary examples

These source excerpts show how magique appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. Leur pouvoir était illimité ; ils guérissaient les malades abandonnés des médecins, rendaient fécondes les terres stériles, arrêtaient les épidémies de bestiaux, mais ils n’étaient point toujours d’humeur à ces sorcelleries bienfaisantes, et, plus volontiers, ils se servaient de leur puissance magique pour tourmenter les hommes et les bêtes.
  2. L’aporie est une espèce d’énigme, mais considérée d’un point de vue logique plutôt que magique ou spirituel. C’est un problème qu’on renonce à résoudre, au moins provisoirement, ou un mystère qu’on refuse d’adorer.
