Why is it feminine?

Magie is feminine because it derives from Latin "magia," which was itself borrowed from Greek "mageia" (μαγεία), and this Greek feminine noun naturally retained its feminine gender when adopted into Latin and subsequently Italian. The Greek root reflects the association of magic with the Magi, a priestly class, though the word's grammatical gender followed standard feminine patterns for -ia/-eia nouns rather than from a specific semantic rule.
