Maybe I’m just confused by your use of the term “magical”. I am imagining magic as some kind of inexplicable, contracausal force—so for example, if Thor wanted to magically heal someone he would just will the person’s wounds to disappear and, voila, without any physical process acting on the wounds to make them heal up, they just disappear. But surely that’s not possible, right?

Your imagining what’s hypothetically-anticipated to happen is the kind of lawful process that magical worlds obey by stipulation.
