Items or actions which produce wizardly effects, though the being using or performing them is not a wizard, and may not even believe in wizardry. Also, the ability to use paramagia successfully.
Concepts such as the cantrip, or items such as the amulet and charm, are typical paramagia. In the conceptual form, paramagia may involve (for example) the preservation of a fragment of a spell circle or a phrase in the Speech by a nonwizard who hears or sees the spell used. Since nonwizardly users will lack the crucial element of enacture, the preserved fragments will almost certainly not have the originally intended effect. But since the Speech, as the language used to build the Universe, has its own inherent power, even fragments of it will often have some effect.
Creatures or beings moving upward in terms of eclestic positioning are more likely to succesfully use or manifest paramagia than others.
