The appeal of magic in writing

I’ve read science fiction from an early age and always been enthralled by its possibilities.  Even if man can't visit the stars in person just yet (someday I’m sure we will) we can go there in our imaginations.  Eventually science will follow and get us there.  However, at university I also read, as did most students of my age, the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings which led me on to more fantasy including one of my all time favourites, The Magician by Raymond Feist.  And then of course every other book in that long series.  For me one of the main appeals of those books has to be the use of magic.
