Christians have always used magick in one form or another. It is usually explained off at being a "miracle" or just allowed because the person was very influential within the Church. What was not allowed was for the commoner to use magick, and women were never allowed to use magick as that was a thought to be witchcraft. Nowadays, most Christians just deny the fact that magick exists.
