A being defined as supernatural, such as a faery, ghost or god, accomplishes uncanny things by virtue of their magical powers. A sorcerer accomplishes uncanny things by their manipulation of magical forces. A psychic has magical perceptions (however much they may insist they're not magical). A god controlling the weather is accomplishing a magical feat because of how the god controls the weather. It's not seeding the clouds with silver oxide, it's imposing it's will on the weather through its vast magical power.You're right. I'm a psychic and I wouldn't consider my perceptions magical, just natural. But it hardly matters. Being a psychic is shit anyways. It's exhausting, painful, and offers no worldly rewards of any kind. It's a burden. But still, as much as it sucks, it is wholly mine. It's my life, I'm the only one who could be living it. And it's kept me out of harm's way many times. Call it God, call it luck, or whatever else. The gift of enhanced perception is something I must learn to master.
If anyone could prove that any such magical powers are real, they would have made more progress towards proving magical beings are possible than anyone else in history.
