It does sound like magic, but doesn't EUV involve some process similar to this? Something about shooting drops of tin with a laser? That sounds like magic to me too but is apparently a thing. Obviously two totally different things, but the level of magic to me is the same.

The tin is reaching 400,000 K, a fusion reactor has to attain more like 100,000,000 K.
