Well, from Sonic Saga 1, it seemed like Magic was just manipulating Chaos energies, (emerald, not water monster). And I'm pretty sure we already knew by the time the comics started that Robotnik could use technology to the same end in the games. So it seems like magic was sorta a paradigm thing? By which I mean the only real difference between an evil magician with an emerald and Robotnik with an emerald is how they conceptualize what they're doing, rather than capability.
Is that accurate to how things went?
