Give me 2 unrelated concepts, and I'll make a *shitty* magic system out of them.

you won me back.

standup comedy and lacrosse
This system is based on invocations. The more people watching, the more powerful each invocation is. While using an invocation, you can telekinetically manipulate objects referenced during your invocation. The more entertained people nearby the object you're manipulating are, the more force and precision you're able to put behind it; conversely, if they're bored, it might do the opposite of what you want.

Hydrox cookies and Donald Trump's hair.
Hydroxes are knock-off Oreos that actually came before Oreos. Trump has proven that his hair is not actually a toupee. The system is "If you can convincingly 'prove' that a replica of an object is real, it becomes slightly better (in a way that the liar chooses) than the original. This can be done repeatedly, lying to a new person each time."

Fart. Air.
By posting a comment on a public forum under the name "Y2K Baby," you switch all the air in the room you're currently in with all the farts currently in your body. If you're outdoors, Earth's atmosphere counts as "The room you are currently in."
 
Cunny and male rape victims.
I said unrelated, this is just lolis outdoing the ugly bastards.

Cunny and madtv
Let's start with the same premise: Lolis outdoing the ugly bastards. No one believes that this could happen, so they take this as satire and go about their days. But then, someone shoots a gorilla. A reality TV star, running on a whim, becomes president. People's views become more and more extreme, becoming parodies of themselves and then parodies of the parodies. And through the chaos that was forewarned by a child raping an adult three times her weight, the world crumbles into decline when a man eats a bat, and ends with a whimper on Take Your Child To Work Day when the son of a nuclear missile operator wants to see what the big red button does.

Joshua moon and the faustian spirit
Last one for the night.

This is more a usage of it than the system itself. Mephisto offers to serve Faust for 24 years, whereas at the end, Faust is dragged off to Hell. What Null likely did was a lesser deal, gaining the love of the community in exchange for a fuckload of lawsuits, inability to get laid, and the community being all "Lol die null," i.e. letting Hell seep through to Earth through him.

thats not the faustian spirit, but you're good at alternative ideas
 
Physical things from disasters or big events that affected a lot of people, like a piece of concrete from the twin towers or a handful of barbed wire from the berlin wall, combined with the solitude of masturbation in the dark.

edit: it can't be political but it should be spiritual.
