No. But it has drugs that make you accurately predict the near and far future. And turn you into an immortal worm eventually.

Not immortal, just long-lived and thick skinned

The voice… Prana-bindu, there’s others, but spoilers ahoy.

Yeah.

Tap for spoilerBut non of it is magic. More like crazy mastery of your own body to a degree that it seems like magic.

The majority of force abilities is basically that. Voice control isn’t mastery of muscle or nerve, it isn’t magic in a sense, but controlling someone’s mind to do what you want for all intents and purposes is.

Also, where do you think Star Wars got inspiration for most of their force abilities at the start?
