Original word in PIE

Is this word possibly from PIE *meh₂gʰ- (“to be able to, to help; power, sorcerer”), this is suggested in the page (https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/magic) where is lists an unknown Iranian language word probably magus which is possibly this old Persian word.Chrythanus (talk) 18:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
