Can 魔力 in certain contexts mean "magical forces"?


When I look up 魔力 in the dictionary it gives me the definition of "magical
powers". However, when 魔力 is used in fantasy fiction, is it also possible for
it to carry the meaning of "magical forces" ("magical forces" in this case
meaning an organized body of military personnel which consist of magical
beings). I know 勢力 sometimes can refer to an organized body of military
personnel, so I was wondering if 魔力 could also function as a fantasy
equivalent to 勢力.




It cannot. I mean, if this is a novel we're talking about, you could tell the
readers that this is what the word means in the novel's context, but it will
be fairly awkward for any reader to get used to.

The word is generally used for the equivalent of mana or magical prowess.
