mystical powers
Beyond natural explanation
Mystical powers are supernatural abilities attributed to spiritual practice, divine gift, or occult knowledge—healing by touch, seeing the future, communicating with spirits.
The phrase appears in fantasy fiction, religious contexts, and New Age spirituality: The shaman was said to possess mystical powers.
Often used skeptically or ironically: I don't have mystical powers; I just checked the weather forecast.
