If you don't think "it's magic" after emag theory... At a certain point the math does start to read like spell craft.

"Yes, yes, but what ratio of turns do we need in the transformer?"

I was a signal integrity engineer so emag theory was my job for a while.

Honestly, magic is quite right. At the base level, how these fields are created and how electrons moving around results in these rules is just the magic of how our universe works.

You can discover the rules to live by, but why it works that way gets smaller and smaller until it's magic.
