Peter Pan and Never Never Land

Re: Man of La Mancha
You need to read the Compleat Enchanter by de Camp.
He (or one of the authorised sequels) does a bit in that world. Essentially, sorcerers call on the Devil, whereas a knight calls on the power of God. So Quixote IS a mage himself.
Harold Shea (the character in the book) calls it something like "magic by name-dropping". At one point, after trying a "classical" spell to get a horse, he ends up with a strange chicken-beast. In a moment of rashness, he said "By God, my wife, and the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, I want a horse and I want one now!"
*poof* Chicken-thing becomes a horse.
Caveat: It's been a while since I read the sotry, I may be messing things up a bit.--
