Fun example: Phantasy Star Universe.

There's a specific class there that specializes in magic. Except not. Because they're using super-advanced "Photon" to conjure magic.

Likewise, "Photon" is used to create laser swords and other kinds of weapons, like laser-based shotguns. They look like magic, yet they aren't. They're superficially advanced technology that they're bordering on magic.

Let's look far more closer to Earth, let's say there's a caveman out there who just learned how to create fire, if you show him a lighter, it'll look like magic to him and you'll be worshipped as a god.

I quote myself "There's no true definition of magic, except something we don't understand."
