I was watching some program yesterday, when one of the characters referenced Arthur C. Clarke (Famous British Sci Fi writer) 's 3rd law "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". I thought about this while looking at Peridot's Escape Pod and how it is not classified as a magical item simply because we know what it is. When it comes to Peridot, the belief that the Gems are magical beings is shattered because she is clearly a being that embodies known (understandable) robotics. If that is the case, Can we really say that any of the magically items in this show are truly magic and not just technology that we do not understand (like a caveman and a lightswitch)?
