"Thaumokinetic" comes from Greek "θαῦμα" (thauma), meaning "Miracle, wonder(n.)" and κίνησις (kinesis), meaning "movement or to move."

Specifically, in modern comics and gaming, it implies producing "psionic" effects by magic.

In general, we who love our Greek and Latin roots for polysyllabic gobbledegook, use "thauma-/thaumo-" for "Magic."
