For example, Neopolitan from RWBY can create illusions, disguises, and teleport. However, in the RWBY universe, these are powers unique to her called a semblance, which is tied to her soul. Magic is an entirely different thing in that universe. So would it be wrong to put her in a "Magic" category despite the fact that her powers are specifically said to NOT BE MAGIC? The same applies to alchemy from the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise; despite acting like magic to us, it is considered an advanced sience to them with magic being entirely different.

 * Keep in mind that
 * Wikias are written for people in our world and not the world of the franchise.
 * Category/Tags are NOT the primary source of information. The Articles are. The bodies of articles should explain all the particulars of any topic.

We are in the process of trying to consolidate and minimize categories. There comes a point where keeping things in keeping with In-Universe/Franchise terms is at cross-purpose to this goal.
