There\'s specific instances where characters use [[{{Alchemy}} herbs such as Aglaophotis]] [[{{Spoiler}}in order to perform an excorcism]].
Also, specific rituals cause specific effects, such as [[{{Spoiler}} the immolation ritual [[CardCarryingVillain Dahlia]] used to impregnate Alessa]].
Alessa also has an Inherent Gift, which takes the form of [[RealityWarper reality warping]]. Heather also has a premonition at the beginning of \'\'SilentHill3\'\' (her accurate dream about the amusement park).
The Otherworld also is a form of Force Magic. And if you pay attention, it seems that everyone has some powers in the Otherworld, as they ever so conveniantaly find weapons, ammo, clues and magical health drinks laying around. This is probably because of [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve an extension of their will to survive]].
Finally, this is a stretch, but the first aid kits, health drinks, and ampoules could be considered a kind of devic magic. In real life, a health drink is not going to miraculosuly stitch up your wounds, and neither is a first aid kit for that matter.
