I always try to keep in mind the impression that the books cover and ad-copy give and if the content doesn't back it up it's my job as a reviewer to point it out.

It is indeed, no argument there.
For the record, I'm told that it's not magic happening there, but rather the utilization of an Atlantean pteranodon-controlling artifact, and hence falls under setting aspects covered in the main book. Of course, since the artifact isn't mentioned in the book, viewing the effect as magic is certainly understandable.
