• magical 本词

  Magical is the broader, often figurative choice for a wonderful, enchanting quality or atmosphere, and it can follow a linking verb (felt magical).

• magic

  Magic is mainly an attributive adjective before a noun, describing something literally related to magic — a trick, spell, or wand — and rarely follows a linking verb.

  magic主要作定语，直接修饰名词，指字面意义上与魔法相关的事物——魔术、咒语或魔杖，很少放在系动词之后作表语。

  She waved her magic wand and whispered a secret spell.

  她挥动魔杖，轻声念出一个秘密咒语。

Magical and magic both relate to magic power. Magical is broader and figurative, describing a wonderful, enchanting feeling, and can follow a linking verb. Magic comes before a noun, describing something connected to magic, like a trick. The noun magic is not compared here.

这两个词都表示“有魔力的、神奇的”，但用法不同：magic多作定语，直接修饰名词，描述具体的魔法相关事物（如魔术、魔杖），较为字面；magical更常用于比喻意义，形容令人陶醉的氛围或感受，也可以作表语。此外，magic还可作名词表示“魔法”本身，这里不作比较。
