I think it's a pretty powerful definition. it incorperats the idea of magick and extra-ordinary abilities into the realm of the everyday. Magickal abilities are not that amazing, but just finer control over the world than most people are able to, or want to, take.
It really opens up the whole area of extra-ordinary powers to regular people, IMO.
And the effects one vote can have on the world can be pretty magical. By writing a name on a peice of paper and dropping it in a box, you can help to change the world...
