OGMIC is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. OGMIC is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 10 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

historical
Relating to ogham, the ancient Irish alphabet carved in strokes along the edge of a stone.
Ogmic describes anything to do with ogham, an alphabet used in Ireland and parts of Britain from around the 4th to the 9th century, mostly for short inscriptions on standing stones. The letters are groups of parallel lines cut across or along a central edge rather than shapes drawn on a flat surface, which makes ogmic inscriptions easy to recognise even without reading them. The word also appears as ogamic or oghamic, spelling the same idea three different ways.
