'Ritual' can be used in religious or magical contexts, but is not inherently magical and is routinely used in other contexts. I don't actually know of any magical connotations for 'vexing', except that it sounds somewhat like 'hexing'.



It's routinely used in some magical contexts. Vexing things are mysterious, which is often an object of magical displays.
