     The magic in The Tempest was able to create many abnormal happenings as well as different feelings that are shown through the characters of Milan.  There were two different types of magic that were shown one was represented by witches and wizards, this type of magic was not the beneficial type of magic.  The beneficial type of magic was created by studies that were done in secret and used to discover new forces, and to study the greater effects of physics.  All this magic that took place results in many of the illusions that were created on the island.

     There are many illusions that seem to happen quite frequently, while the shipwrecked persons of Milan were on the island that was created by Prospero's powers.  Many of these encounters may not even be illusions but figments of their imagination as well as hallucinations.  While others tend to happen because of the magic that Prospero creates with his mind.

He uses this as an advantage to make the island as a task for all the Millan characters to find themselves.  This would be their task as they are on the island.  Prospero uses some of his most intriguing magic spells to manipulate his guests that will be staying on the island.  The people are aware of the power that the island holds but they are unaware that Prospero is in existence at this point.

Lend thy hand. . . For thou must know farther."(act 1, sc. 2)  After this they are like prisoners on his island and do anything for him.
