Magic in my world

So I'm sure this has been done before by someone lol but I have a role in my story that a human is taken from earth to another planet, as humans on earth we have no magic powers to speak of however I've gone down the route of Adrenaline for the magical source within the human, the back story being humans lost the information on what it truly was how to activate it and use it that kind of thing, considering we know what adrenaline can do to a human I'm curious in real life, I figured it could be a nice little oh but you do have magic inside you moment. I'm love to know your thoughts on the Magic powers source being adrenaline all input is appreciated...

Somewhat similar to what I did.

1 - Utterly inhuman aliens with naturally high PSI abilities terraformed several planets tens of thousands of years ago.

2 - Aliens brought groups of humans and other primitive races to these planets as servants and test subjects. Importation began around 10K years ago and continued until around 2K years ago. As a result, these races brought with them elements of their old societies.

3 - When their numbers began to decline, the aliens genetically imbued select humans and others with vastly increased PAI abilities. Human and alien (Goblin) labor camps became vassal states.

4 - The alien civilization imploded 2-3K years ago. The vassal states became kingdoms, and the PSI people became wizards. Now the alien era is a myth.

5 - While there are a few true PSI humans on Earth, they lack the power of those enhanced by the aliens.
