“Magic” is just a term ignorant people use to describe something they don’t understand and are too lazy and to figure out. Sometimes, just because they refuse to accept the facts.
Example: man-made climate change causes record wildfires in LA, and some claim “God did it!”
Another: cancer patient goes into remission after successful medical treatments. Some believe “God did it!”
I mean like white magic like in Pokemon in the Lavender Town Tower where that Channeler mentions the white magic areas
Super appreciated when people break out legit citations and commentary like that, really classes up the place :) Thank you for thar
This would have been good context to include in your original post. How the heck is everyone else supposed to know that this is what you were asking about?
Also, you might get more of the answers you're looking for if you ask in a Pokémon community instead.
