magical powers
Wizard's special gifts
Magical powers are supernatural abilities to influence events or produce effects beyond ordinary human capability—casting spells, reading minds, moving objects without touching them, or transforming matter.
The phrase appears in fantasy fiction, folklore, and discussions of the occult.
Figuratively, someone with exceptional skill may be said to have magical powers: She has magical powers when it comes to calming crying babies.
