Magic is just science without the burden of coherent theories that predict reliable experimental outcomes, which covers a lot more than psychology. I’d say it’s more like humanity spitballing science-ish ideas and seeing which ones pan out, than any one branch of science specifically.
No, magic is observable phenomena caused by things that aren’t real, where "real"ness is a social construct. Thus, magical studies is a field exploring the engineering of social constructs.
