So I found some gear that has the stat "increased magic find".
What is this "magic" that I can find? Gems? Potions? Some other form of loot?
I need to know what it does before I can decide if it's a stat worthy of my mighty character.

Magic Find improves the chances that you will find magic/rare/set/legendary items. It also affects the number of affixes that a rare item will get [source]. It does not affect the item level of the loot that is dropped, which affixes the item gets, or the random values associated with those affixes. It does not affect gems or potions things or other types of non-equippable items. It does not affect the amount of items that you find (only their quality).
Here's a recap of how magic find works.
Keep in mind that your chance of getting a certain item type is multiplied by your increased magic find. For example, if you have +100% magic find, then you won't find magic items all the time. Instead, if a legendary has a 0.1% chance to drop off of this particular monster, then it will instead have a 0.2% chance to drop (an extra 100% of it's base chance).
