Canonical scope
How this record is classified
The Magic registry separates practitioners, users, artifacts, substances, procedures, transformations, environments, rules, countermagic, social regulation, and Continuity Codex variances. A marvelous thing is not automatically labeled magical unless Baum’s text explicitly or operationally supports that classification.
Continuity Codex
Textual variance preserved
This record intentionally preserves a Baum continuity tension. The build does not silently harmonize incompatible or evolving claims across books.
