It seems MochaJew is not alone in her distaste for the term Magic, though reading the description it really does sound more like benefits to science. Perhaps the designers meant that it would help the villies understand the world better and be able to do things that, to previous generations, would seem "magical"? Just trying to reconcile things since I really don't think Arthur et al meant to offend anyone. However, I completely understand and respect the decision to not choose the Magic faction.
