Is the fifth classical element, ether actually magic?

Question

the classical elements are different from the elements of Chemistry and science. Sorry if i may have phrased it wrong.

Answer 1

Actually,it depends.

What you looking is,Aether I think.Philosophers foundation of aether was nothing more than misery.As all natural elements had a change cycle,Aether didnt.Yes,there is a fifth element,but its now known as others.

''In some cosmologies, six elements are identified. Beyond solid (Earth), liquid (Water), gas (Air), and plasma (Fire), there are identified two other elements, one to do with life, or living matter. Thus the fifth element may be sub-divided into living and non-living, i.e. informatics and bioinformatics (the mind, neural networks, etc.).''

So,its grafically :

.     .     .Fire

. Air      Aether    Earth

.     .     .Water

Generally,not discribed as a element,it usually depends on mind.Not considered as magic.But psychic of mind.However this is just an idea.Even for the philosophers.

As you might know,all people have psychic powers.Some have more than others.Thats it.

Hope I helped.

Answer 2

classical elements fit into two categories. one is metaphysical and another anamorphic. the metaphysical has properties of actual magic. ( not the Houdini kind) the anamorphic allows the individuals to create a translucent existence since allowing one to believe in such illusions!
