>It's still there though, but I get you mean how it's blended.People call Jedi "space wizards," but they're not casting fireball or whatever. The Force is basically magic, but it's a very subtle form of magic compared to how magic is portrayed in fantasy.
In Dune, the only thing that is potentially mystical is prescience, which Frank Herbert never really gives any kind of "scientific" explanation for. I would agree that the other powers are kind of fantastical, but Herbert at least tries to give them some kind of at least materialist explanation and tries to make it explicit that they're not magic.
