I guess it can be both, magic and scientific surgery all have their own way to manipulate perception, one is pure fantasy, one is using human technology, Eye surgery is a form of Perception Manipulation, in a sense, because it changes how your eyes see and perceive.

So it all depends on the universe of the story, modern age or magic-based world for the power to take form, the writer decides everything, right? Even a science universe like Mass Effect has space magic, haven't it?

Magic is more of a method, a way to use special powers. I mean, you have played Dragon Age, so you saw mage can manipulate natural elements, control minds, blood magic, shapeshifting, healing,... Are they all different powers that can exist independently?
