There are some cycles that are started and finished in the span of several years. Usually, sets are started and completed in the same set or block. Each card has a similar enter-the-battlefield ability that changes based on the color’s identity. In the most recent set, Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, the Mythic Rare adversary cycle is an example of a cycle. Cycles are different colored cards with similar effects around a specific theme. The sketch of the ability reveals that Card would have had the same appearance as Magic and used a similar playing card-based attack.Cycles are a core part of Magic: The Gathering set design. Concept artwork seems to suggest that a Copy Ability named Card was considered for Kirby Super Star.Magic is the only ability that has appeared both as a one-use ability and a normal Copy Ability.This makes it the only Boss Endurance when Kirby can have multiple lives. When playing Boss Endurance in Kirby: Squeak Squad, if Kirby gets the 1UP option with one of his attacks, he will receive the 1UP, allowing him to return to the boss selection screen upon being KO'd.If the player has completed the Ghost Medal and has not finished the Secret Map, it becomes almost impossible to acquire Magic again unless Kirby goes to the extra stage in Secret Sea.This could be a reference to the Mini ability that is used in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.When the real Kirby tries to look at the figure, it promptly goes back into the hat before the door closes. In Kirby: Squeak Squad, if Kirby waits long enough without moving, a tiny door opens on the front of the hat and a Kirby figure comes out, it jumps on the edge of the hat.On the cover of the 22nd volume of Kirby Manga Mania, there is a Magic-like Copy Ability.As with most abilities, the color of the cards, clown head, and the band on the hat are altered to match the color of Kirby when Spray Paint is used on him.In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, the "Galaxia" option doesn't light fuses to cannons, even though this sword lights fuses in other games if any of Kirby's friends gain this option from the Magic ability, Kirby will be able to move around during Meta Knight's appearance.It is not explained how this is possible, as Meta Knight is trapped in the Dimension Mirror. In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, one of the possible one-time abilities to gain was for Meta Knight to destroy everything on screen.Gather 'round and look closely! Nothing in my hand!

After bouncing around for a few times it goes back into Kirby's hat.

Kirby lowers his hat and an oversized clown head on a spring pops out. Kirby lowers his hat and three doves fly out in different directions, and then vanish when they hit something. Upon obtaining the Magic Ability Scroll, located in the 2nd Treasure Chest in Stage 4 of Secret Sea, Magic regains the ability summon a roulette to have a random effect, but this expends the ability.

Magic can now attack by pulling out various objects from its hat, such as doves, playing cards (which can cut ropes and grass and bushes), and a jack-in-the-box head (that can destroy metal blocks and pound stakes). Magic is no longer a one-use Copy Ability. Galaxia: Meta Knight appears and slices all enemies onscreen. Obtaining this in boss rooms or Goal Game rooms yields no effect.
