I doubt that "magic" is derived from "magi". I checked the etymology section for "magic" at Wiktionary, and it doesn't mention anything about being derived from "magi". You may want to check additional sources to be sure. The two may be related to one another, but it doesn't seem that the word "magic" is directly derived from "magi". Even if it were, that really doesn't prove anything about the nature of magic - it would only show the opinion of the people who started to use it this way.
