Morphology
The meaning 'ability to perform magic' is directly and transparently composed from 'magical' (pertaining to magic) + 'power' (ability or capacity). This adjective+noun combination follows a standard compositional pattern and is easily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Magical power comes from old stories where a person or object seems to hold a special force that can change things, like a wizard touching a wand and making fire. So magical power means the ability 'to perform magic' or 'to influence events'.
