Wait...if Sans is a human who has killed a monster over and over and over again, how come his stats are so low? ...I'd advise you to read the script. Gaster was also a human, under Ferret's interpretation.

And to answer the question, it's the same thing Ambassador has been saying a lot: He "put all of his points" into the tricks he uses, like bypassing INV and dodging. There's a reason no other monster pulls that off.

Although I haven't seen anyone explain how a human can use magic attacks which are themed not on the human itself, but on his disguise. Or just use magic attacks. Especially if one of the combatants is using physical attacks, the other is using magic, and they are both the same person (yeah, read the script). Sans doesn't use magic attacks, at least not innate ones. I don't know what type of damage the Gaster Blasters do, but those are items he uses, not powers he generates from himself.

The Six Human SOULS each had the power of Telekinesis to rip themselves out of Omega Flowey under their own power. It's not technically magic, but it is a power that humans have.

Ness canonically has Telekinesis in Earthbound. There's a cutscene where Baby Ness gestures towards a bottle, and it slightly moves toward him.

Just because a being shows supernatural powers doesn't mean this must be magic by definition. Saving and Loading seems pretty magical, but only human SOULs can do that.
