It's just biology and other sciences, nothing mystical about it besides a lack of understanding. That's really the big difference between magic or mystical things and science; science is exploration and understanding while magical or mystical things are that which hasn't been explained yet by science.
Idk, maybe It's just the autism thing or a big pet peeve, but I can't stand real life things being given "magical" properties by people when those things have an explainable reason within an actual understanding of the world around us.
Like you wouldn't describe a plane as mystical, yet someone a few hundred years ago absolutely would. Look up cargo cults, it really changed how I viewed science in the modern world. Isolated humans worshipped and created culture around the planes and ships and people they seen and sometimes even interacted with up close during WW2. Technology so advanced to them that it defied any explanation, yet less than a hundred years later and that tech they witnessed is considerd obsolete by us today or is rarely used, treated as antique.
I suppose what's mystical is just a matter of perspective really, that's my conclusion at the end of this high info dump / rant lol.
