Just messing around and landed on this site: majutsu.net
Care to hear some utter crap?
The letters in the word Majutsu have meaning. "Ma†means pure and "jutsu†means art, so Majutsu means the pure art. The person who practices as a magician is called a Majutsushi. The letters "shi†mean user; thus, a Majutsushi is a user of this pure art.
真 ma does indeed mean "pure". But that's not the kanji that's used to write é”è¡“majutsu. The real first kanji é” means "demon".
UPDATE: é”術師 majutsushi means "magician" or "sorceror". The final 師 shi doesn't mean "user". It means "expert" or "master".
This is like all those strange bad Chinese and Japanese tattoos that they used to post on the now-defunct "Hanzi Smatter". I really miss that site.

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
