In a modern-day-like world where magic has recreated electronics and computers, what do you call the equivalent of "electronics" and "digital"?

You cannot just call it "magitech," for the same reason you cannot call all technology in the real world "electronics" or "digital."

Electronics is called electronics because it uses electrical energy, a steam-boat is called a steam-boat because its powered by steam, and so on. What is the energy used to power these these devices in your setting?

Pure, generic magic.

Digital probably stays the same, since all it means is "number-y." So any kind of magitech that crunches numbers as the basis of it's operation (ie. what you would need to create the equivalent of modern computers and other electronics) could still end up being called digital. Alternatively numeral (also "numbery"), numberological (magicaly numbery), octarinal/octenaric (because Diskworld and also base 8),...

Electronics is called that because it's the field of studying and manipulating electricity/electrons, or devices that rely on manipulating electricity/electrons. So it could be something like theurgics (from theurgy, more or less a synonym for magic). It could be something like motonics (borrowing from Exalted, the particle of magic is called a mote). You need to do/clarify some worldbuilding to determine what terms the people would already know and could evolve into their version of electronic.

Spellectronics.

>>51472051
-tron, -tronic, -tronics
>Greek: a suffix referring to a device, tool, or instrument; more generally, used in the names of any kind of chamber or apparatus used in experiments.

Basically take any word you have for your magic and add -tronic. That's how we named our stuff.
