Magecraft is the reenactment of Mystery. Ah, but I should explain Mystery first: it is a sliver of power that imitates, but could never reach the same level of, True Magic. True Magic is basically the "impossible" or "miracles" like manipulating time or resurrecting the truly dead. Mystery is below True Magic in that it is an "achievable phenomena" that is brought about through what one might call "supernatural means". For example, if you use magecraft to heal a wound you must clean any cuts or properly set any bones before casting a spell to heal. This is because magecraft simply enhances and speeds up the body's natural healing process. If you like you can consider magecraft and science in the same family, but most mages would be appalled if you considered them to "share the same bed".
