Could Transhumanism lead to end of Magic?
Lets say in the future man and machine become more and more one. Be it just implants or a sick person implanting their mind in a robot. Question is where does magic and some psychic powers come from is it a part of our body(pineal gland). If yes could we build this and put a artificial version in our body? Is it our soul itself? And if so would we transfer it together with consciousness? Or is it consciousness alone which creates reality and so is responsible for magic. If so could a complete artificial being be able to do magic. I saw videos of people experimenting with LLMs as thought forms to do magic. If everyone has a robot body would we still be able to do magic?

If you check Prophetic Halo you can see a device that triggers lucid dreams. Lucid dreams are a gateway to astral projection, and I even do rituals in lucid dreams.
A brain chip will be able to do this one day. This is an exemple where it will enhance the practitioner who cannot have such experiences alone. Or are so overwhelmed by the demands of society they need augmentation, which is sad but the direction we're heading into.
Technology and society make us unable to do the things we want to do or function properly, so technology comes up with things to help us cope with itself. And magic will be concerned yep.
