P.S.--Check out again what Clarke stated. He said technology might appear as magic, not that technology was magic. It's still rooted in science (ie, it uses some form of device or tool or biological process explainable by scientific theory to accomplish a goal), hence it's science fiction. By Clarke's statement, magic, in the form of mysticism and not technology misunderstood, is fantasy.
