ANN just translated "魔法" to "Magic", so you have look at Magic in Asian perspective. |
You can't be this ignorant. There's just no way.

what do you mean no way? That's the real title. Why do we have to look at it in Western magic perspective?
I think the first thing is to understand what "魔法" means in Chinese and Japanese literature.

Think "魔法少女", Maho Shojo, Magical girl.
Let me ask you something, in Madoka, do they use magic or not.
The title sure have in "魔法" again. 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ |
Of course they use magic, you dunce. The Magical Girl genre originates from Bewitched, a show about a witch married to a mortal man. By your logic, shoes don't exist for Japan simply because they have a different word to represent the same concept.

The nature of magic as a concept doesn't vary by culture. The mythology around it may change from culture to culture, but the principle remains the same.
