What's the difference between magical and magic, when magic is also used as an adjective? I think it's fine to fill in the blank 69 with magical, but the answer is magic. Is it okay to use 'magical' or I can only use 'magic' here.

When 'magic' is an adjective, it means the item described performs magic, e.g. a magic wand, a magic trick, a magic show. 'Magical' means that the item described has a certain quality as if it were created by magic. It may be fantastic, otherworldly or somehow unreal. For example, a magical land would be a land that is very strange and different from our own. In your case, I'd say either could be correct. A magic medicine performs magic. A magical medicine seems to have been created by medicine.

Yeah, MAGIC is a funny word, in that it's both a noun and an adjective. In my opinion, there's no difference between MAGIC and MAGICAL when MAGIC is used as an adjective.
