In some settings, people who believed that magic was stronger than technology might have the following views: In the battle system where magic and technology were compared, magic often had a unique advantage. Judging from the source of power, most of the magic settings were that the power belonged to the mage himself, which meant that the mage himself could become a powerful source of combat power and did not need to rely on external tools. For example, in some traditional settings of the magic world, powerful mages could use their own magic power to cast various spells, and these spells often had strong power and unique effects. In terms of flexibility in battle, magic was more flexible in certain situations. In a scene involving AoE, mages could easily cast large-scale magic attacks. However, if the technology side wanted to carry out large-scale target attacks, they would need to scout, guide, transport vehicles, and operate multiple people. The process was more complicated. For example, in some novels or game settings, an archmage's forbidden spell could produce great power and cover a large area. However, technological weapons faced more restrictions in order to achieve similar effects. In terms of top-tier combat power, the top-tier characters in the magic world could display abilities that far surpassed those in the technological world. For example, in the comparison between " The Witcher 3 " and " Cyberpunk 2077 ", the Shadow Elder and the Mirror Master in " The Witcher 3 " had extremely powerful abilities. The Shadow Elder had absolute control over high-level vampires, and the Mirror Master could easily sense anything. This ability was beyond the scope of ordinary technological means. However, this was only in certain settings where magic might be considered stronger than technology, and most of the time, the strength of the two ultimately depended on the author's settings.
It was difficult to determine who was more powerful between technology and magic. Both had their own unique characteristics. In terms of magnificence, magic was often superior. For example, Dr. Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) had gorgeous spells. When he used the "Form of Eckhorn," he could create countless clones that could use spells. Rocky could also use illusions to create clones to show his majesty as a god. These magic scenes were very visual. In terms of realism, technology had an advantage. For example, in Iron Man's Iron Army, many warframes could produce a "doppelganger" effect under Jarvis's control. This technology gave people a sense of realism. Although the mysterious guest was a liar, the scenes and doppelgangers created by the projection technology he invented also had a certain sense of realism. In some settings, technology and magic could be combined to unleash great power. For example, in a world setting called "New Era," Eric invented a device that could combine technology and magic. This device transformed the power of the two into a new, powerful and stable energy that could be applied to many different fields. This showed that the combination of technology and magic could produce great value. It also meant that there was no absolute difference in strength between the two, but they could complement each other.
It was difficult to determine the strength of technology and magic. In terms of form, technology and magic were similar. For example, spells could be cast by chanting incantations and using wands or scrolls to amplify the power of the weapon. On the other hand, technological products such as energy guns could be fired by pulling the trigger. However, there were many essential differences between them. In terms of the ability to acquire, most of the technological products in the novels could be used by anyone as long as they were created, while magic often required magic talent and could only be improved through practice. In terms of theoretical research, many magic worlds did not involve the study of magic principles. Magic was often treated as a wishing machine, and technology was built on in-depth exploration and research of principles. In terms of practical influence, both of them had powerful abilities in their respective settings. In some sci-fi settings, technology could achieve interplanetary travel, genetic modification, and so on, while in magic settings, magic could achieve instantaneous movement, change the form of matter, and other things that violated conventional physical phenomena. Therefore, the strength of technology and magic depended on different settings and application scenarios.
It's hard to say which is stronger outright. Sometimes magic seems dominant, while in other situations, technology has the upper hand. It really depends on the specific circumstances and how they are used.
The famous science fiction writer Arthur Clarke once said," Any sufficiently advanced technology is no different from magic." In a sense, when technology developed to a certain extent, the effects it displayed might be as magical as magic. In the development of the fantasy world, technology and magic had been opposing each other. Technology represented rationality and progress, while magic represented mystery and the supernatural. However, with the development, the fusion of the two produced unprecedented power, and people realized that they could exist for the happiness of mankind together. For example, in a fantasy world, a technological city had high-rise buildings and mechanical devices, while magic users hid in the mountains and forests to master the power of nature. Later, the two went from being opposites to cooperating. There were also real-life examples. For example, the blogger Little Lion Diary could wave his homemade magic wand to control the bedroom lights, toilets, and air conditioning. This was using technology to create seemingly magical effects. Therefore, it was reasonable to say that technology was magic.

The strength of magic and superpowers depended on the specific situation and the setting of the work. In the " Index of Forbidden Magic Books ", people believed that magic was more powerful because there were no restrictions on the types of magic, but the types of superpowers were limited. However, if we go beyond the scope of the Index of Forbidden Magic Books, we cannot directly compare magic and superpowers, because they belong to different concepts and fields. Therefore, it was impossible to determine which one was more powerful.
