If I were to say something like "Well if you character's powers are considered to be magic, then my character would be able to do this, do that or even resist it". But like, different verse have their own definitions and standards for what does or doesn't count as magic. So therefore I feel like I wouldn't be able to say that if their OC's verse's definition of magic is different to my verse's definition of magic.
For example, Toriel from Undertale's fire manipulation is considered "magic" within her own game. But in my verse, it wouldn't. In order for a power to be considered "magic" in my verse, it has to be something that you learn rather than something you're born and therefore is part of your biology (so mutants and spiderman's powers wouldn't count as "magic" because those powers are part of their biology). Correct me if I'm wrong because it has been quite a few years since I last played Undertale, but I don't remember there being anything to prove that Toriel learned magic so I feel like it's safe to assume that she was born with it. Not only that, but "magic" is also considered to be just one of many "Capability Themes" which are based mostly on aesthetic and fire is not considered to be part of my verse's Capability Theme that is considered "magic". In fact, fire is considered to be it's own theme.
