magegathering

magegathering is a term that can refer to several different concepts within fantasy and role-playing contexts. One common usage describes a clandestine meeting or assembly of magic-users, often mages, wizards, sorcerers, or other practitioners of arcane arts. These gatherings might be for purposes such as sharing knowledge, forging alliances, discussing mutual threats, or undertaking significant magical rituals. The secrecy surrounding such events often stems from societal mistrust or fear of magic, or from the need to protect sensitive magical information.

In the context of the trading card game Magic: The Gathering, "magegathering" is not an official term but could be colloquially used to describe a large-scale event or tournament, such as a Grand Prix or Pro Tour. It might also refer to a casual assembly of players meeting to play the game, trade cards, or discuss strategies. The term implies a significant concentration of players and enthusiasts focused on the game.

Furthermore, "magegathering" could be a title or name used in specific fictional works, such as a novel, a game, or a fan-made project, to denote a specific event or location where mages convene. The precise nature and purpose of such a gathering would be defined by the creator of the work. Regardless of the specific context, the core idea revolves around the convergence of magic users or those dedicated to magical pursuits.
