And while geneticly passed down magic powers are common in fiction, just as common are those powers that are just genetic and have nothing to do with magic, so that is still a 50/50 chance that SEW's Power is or isn't magic. Except in this case, there is no 50/50 chance. SEW powers are magic.

Look, the only things in Remnant that are not Magic no matter how fantastical they seem, are Dust, Aura Techniques, and Semblances. Everything else is Magic. Being passed down genetically or not is completely irrelevant, and does not make said Magic any less magical.

That's the fact.

As for "powers that are just genetic and have nothing to do with magic", they are irrelevant. The SEW powers are magical in nature, they petrify, if not kill, the monsters we call Grimm. They are not the result of some mutant spider biting your hand or being radiated with gamma rays. SEWs are not mutants with abilities obtained from mutation. They are people with unique magical abilities.

Or were you thinking of something like MHA's Quirks? Because a lot of Quirks are effectively just magic. Only that no one ever calls them Magic because at least 80% of the worldwide population has a Quirk, so they are super mundane in MHA. Magic is inherently fantastic, and one does not call the mundane "fantastic" or "magical".
