    No, they mean literal magic. I started reading the book, and they’re talking about “Dark Magicians” on the first page.

      For the simple minded its understandable how anyone with psychological knowledge could be confused with magicians.

      Just look at fortune tellers and the likes.

      Its a perversion of the truth that any sufficiently advanced enough science can only be interpreted as magic. For some, common knowledge seems sufficient enough.

        Sovcits are true believers in the magic. Anyone smart enough to do as you are suggesting is stealing from the true believers.
