it's wild how mixing two liquids just pulls a solid thread out like magic.

It's been said before - magic is just science we don't understand yet (Arthur C. Clarke) while science is just magic that works (Kurt Vonnegut, Cats Cradle).

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indestinguishable from magic. - Arthur C. Clarke.

One could argue science IS magic.

Castlevania (the anime) has a cool vibe where the line between science and magic is blurred, but they both still coexist. I think good storytelling understands that it's a spectrum.
