i think many ppl still dont understand the concept of simon's magic and question, just like him, whether he was magical or not. simon was born from a ritual designed by davy and his obsession with the prophecy of the chosen one, and simon was indeed born the most powerful being in years. his birth was an anomaly and canonically shook the world of mages, with the first dead spot appearing the moment he was born. so the simple explanation for everything is that the induced birth of such a powerful creature was not natural, and thats why he brought so much destruction, bc so much magic wasnt normal and needed to come from somewhere for him to use it. simon was indeed magical, especially since he is the son of two sorcerers, but his enormous level of magic was induced by davy's rituals, and the universe simply demanded it back, bc no one could have so much magic, it wasnt natural.
thats why simon is both the good and the evil of the prophecy at the same time, his existence brought evil, but he himself was the savior of all. he was the chosen one.
