Who said “magical powers”?

You did. You didn’t use those exact words, but you certainly implied the same meaning. By saying that “Lutheran priests” don’t have the power to consecrate communion, you implied that there are certain people (i.e., Catholic priests) who do possess such a power. That’s magic.

I’ll stick with believing that it’s God that effects consecration, as it is a work of God and beyond the ability of any human.

So do you think you can effect your very own consecration of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ? If not, who can, besides God? Why do y'all even have a "communion"?
