Well yeah, but by the same logic i 100% consider our real actual physics to just be magic, at the smallest scale there is absolutely absurd stuff like wave-particle duality and LITERAL ACTUAL GENUINE TELEPORTATION.

And of course there's the old quote "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".

I don't think the distinguishment between "magic" and "technology" is particularly useful, what's important is whether the reader goes "ooooh that's so fucking cool", and you can totally get that from youtube videos by people working with particle physics.

You can't convince me that using ruby rods surrounded in flash tube and reflective materials to create lasers isn't magical.
