  We study the extent to which knot and link states (that is, states in 3d
Chern-Simons theory prepared by path integration on knot and link complements)
can or cannot be described by stabilizer states. States which are not classical
mixtures of stabilizer states are known as "magic states" and play a key role
in quantum resource theory. By implementing a particular magic monotone known
as the "mana" we quantify the magic of knot and link states. In particular, for
$SU(2)_k$ Chern-Simons theory we show that knot and link states are generically
magical. For link states, we further investigate the mana associated to
correlations between separate boundaries which characterizes the state's
long-range magic. Our numerical results suggest that the magic of a majority of
link states is entirely long-range. We make these statements sharper for torus
links.
