Magick-with-a-k is, in my circles, the term we use for deliberate spellworking, as opposed to all that other great stuff that is inherently magical. I'm not in any way denigrating magic stuff, just setting aside the deliberate process from the inherent stuff.
It's also useful as a snobby thing, by people who like to spell their words differently in the hope of impressing others.
See, my thing on "just happens" is this: It's entirely possible that shit just happens, and that the universe has better things to do with its time than organize my life like a DM sending me opportunities for experience points. BUT, if I operate under the assumption that life is deliberately organized by some divine entity for my education and enjoyment, then life is more satisfying and more fun, and I generally just get a lot more out of it. So I don't worry about the "truth" of that, because by acting like life is a series of lessons I have been learning a lot more.
