magical realms
Worlds with wizards
Magical realms are imaginary worlds where supernatural forces operate—places governed by enchantment rather than physics.
Fantasy literature and games abound with them: The portal opened into a magical realm of floating islands and talking beasts.
The phrase often carries a sense of wonder and escape from ordinary reality.
