The difference is between saying '"I want a hammer" and it magically pops in your hand' versus '"I want a hammer" and I have to chop some wood, gather some metals, heat it up...'.
Both gets you a hammer, but I don't think anyone would call the latter magical/divine? I think its only "magical" simply because its incomprehensible...how does a hammer pops into reality? Of course, once we know EXACTLY how that works, then it ceases to be magical.
Even if we take God, if we fully understand how He works, He would no longer be magical/divine. "Oh he created another universe? This is how that works..."
The divinity comes from the fact that it is incomprehensible.
