But there's Q, the traveller, Wesley, that old guy who wiped out an entire species with a thought... Pretty magical stuff there...
Any sufficiently advanced technology would appear as magic to the primitive. This is a theme repeated frequently in the show. ๏ฟผ
The life forms you mentioned are simply more advanced than humanity can comprehend, they are not magical. ๏ฟผ
The Q are pretty fucking magical, to be honest. DeLancie's Q even suggests that all of their powers come from the mind, not from technology.
Wow, I had completely forgotten about the Wesley Traveler thing.
You may be more familiar with it than me.
Well then, I'd say this is a good excuse to familiarize yourself with it and tell me for sure.
I'll leave it to your best judgement.
My best judgment is that you should go and binge watch DS9 because that show is amazing.
