You might build a paper boat during an arts-and-skills lesson, but add a witch to the start of my name, and I become magical spellcasting. What am I?
Craft
The noun 'craft' refers to a skill or art project, such as making paper models or handiwork. When combined with the word 'witch,' it forms 'witchcraft,' which describes the practice of magic, spells, and potion-making. Connecting hands-on artistic hobbies to magical traditions yields the word craft.
