Except that "magic damage" is an actual term used to indicate non-lethal damage in StrikerS, particularly by Subaru during her battle with Ginga. There is a difference between "magical" and "physical" damage.
But it gets even weirder. "Magical" damage can affect non-living objects while only knocking out living ones. This explains how a blast that obliterates half a building does little more than knock out the target.
It doesn't help that the consistency in this regard is a tad wonky either.
