If Magic was always a thing, but due to low number of historical users, numbers further reduced by a shockingly high mortality rate in times of conflict (Achilles? Real guy, even if his exploits might have been a bit exaggerated), but it was always enough of a constant that some events might have played a bit differently than a History written by people with a Weirdness Censor would have you believe (Salem? Witches afraid and in denial of their otherwordly powers might have been the most zealous witch hunters as a way to project and deny their gifts. Or just because the Ghostapo stumbled on a few real magical rituals, doesn't stop them from not using them to their full potential due to said rituals' non-aryan origins (just like they did with the Jewish Nuclear Physics, preventing them from getting the A-bomb), while Die Nachthexen might not have been as fanciful a title as some would have you believe), while the modern world brings just the kind of perfect storm combining more people yearning for magic, quantum physics being so weird, and the Information Age making easier than ever to share and learn rituals over the internet so long as one knows just enough to sort through the 99+% of garbage rituals to find diamonds in the rough for magic to make it's comeback in full force... Would this count?
