(Frisk is not a Mage) You mean how Sans' eye flashes blue and yellow when he uses Psychokinesis on Frisk?

Pure human souls can't use magic. Yet the six souls rebelled against Omega Flowey on their own, using a force that wasn't magic. Magic isn't the only power source in this world.

One think I didn't notice before in the post-Papyrus Grillby's dialog was that a patron notes Sans usually arrived first, and Papyrus would enter second, looking annoying.

It was like Sans would teleport to Grillby's.. but wouldn't (or couldn't?) take Papyrus along with him for the ride.

Yet Frisk DOES accompany Sans on his teleports before going to Grillby's, and going up the left alley to the MTT resort before they both poofed into the restaurant. Like Frisk has a power within him that Papyrus lacks.

Again, each of Sans' winks might be an ironic probablity feather-touch, but it's like he's sharing a private joke with Frisk the Bandage-wearing Amnesiac. And each time it's like Sans knows what's going to happen in the future. Or an ironic comment like if Frisk survives to the MTT dinner without daying, Sans winks and mentions what a great job HE'S doing.

While dying multiple times to King Asgore, Frisk is the one who has to remind Asgore how many times the King has already killed him. But when fighting Sans, SANS is the one who counts Frisk's death before the battle.

Sans definitely has the human power to Save and Load, and remember information about previous timeliness. The same power that Frisk, and Flowey, both possess. And that King Asgore, a monster, doesn't have.

The only way you get the key to Sans' room is by abusing Save and Load to talk to him multiple times. And each time, he gives you another part of a quiz, to prove that YOU ARE A TIME TRAVELER, JUST LIKE *HIM*. Finally leading up to Sans revealing that the key to his room is ALREADY ON YOUR KEYCHAIN.

Look at Sans and Frisk whent hey first meet at the bridge. Then side by side chatting at Grillby's (both having exactly the same pencil-neck). Then viewed in sillhouette, mirror-style, during Judgement. Sans has exactly the same shape as Frisk.. if Frisk were also wearing a goofy oversized Skeleton Mask, and baggy coat.

This is what makes the Sans fight tragic. Frisk's final act before completely losing himself to Chara, is to try and kill HIMSELF. And that's why Sans, who never hesitated to kill Flowey in previous timeliness, won't fight Frisk unless it's a last resort. And when this shambling powder-fist-covered mass murder lurched into the Judgement Hall, Sans has a question for him "Do you think anyone can before a good person.. if they just.. try?"

Sans wants to know if HE can be saved. And he's trying to seek that answer.. by watching what others versions of himself do.

Sans has definitely killed before, he is not innocent. And I don't mean that he's killed Flowey. The reason Gaster, who was once a father figure to Sans, is gone.. is because Sans had to kill him, when Gaster tried to use Option C, and genocide the monsters to instantly break the barrier.

Sans has plenty of human darkness within him. There's only one person who can save Sans now.. himself.

Which is why Sans does so much in secret to try and help Frisk. Even if watching Frisk murder people breaks his heart.
