fictional magic:

Magic in fiction is the creation of character or objects in works of fiction with powers that do not naturally occur in the real world.

Fictional magic may sometimes be inspired by non-fictional beliefs and practices, but it may also come as an invention of the writer. Even when the writer uses non-fictional beliefs and practices, the effect, strength, and rules of the magic will often depend on what the writer requires to move the plot forward.

examples of fictional creature: dragons, magic eggs, headless horseman, faeries, unicorns etc etc.
