I would agree here also. Even weirdness that occurs in the martial arts
which is explained as "Ch"i or "Ki" is not supernatural but body generated.
I've
seen some pretty amazing things such candles blown out with punches from
across rooms and hands slowly pushed (not punched) through stacks of bricks.
It's not a parlor trick, but just a focus of the natural energy of the body.
Physics, physiology, and using whatever untapped potential we have - it
isn't supernatural by any means. But it makes a great game!
