When Ayana uses her ability that makes attacks count as magic, does it completely change the shooting/melee attack so that it's effectively a magic spell, or is it still its original attack with the ability to hurt things only affected by magic?

IE, If I use the no-shooting hymn from a choir on one of my jacks and she uses her ability on a unit of trenchers, can they still combine fire and shoot it, as it counts as magic now?

According to the FAQ...

Erratum: Pirates of the Broken Coast p.44 : Lurynsar's Touch
Replace Lurynsar's Touch with the following:
Lurynsar's Touch is a RNG 8 spell. Melee attacks made by target friendly model are considered magic attacks instead of melee attacks, but use melee attack rolls, and do not randomize if a target in melee is missed. Ranged attacks made by the affected model are considered magic attacks instead of ranged attacks, but use ranged attack rolls. The affected model can charge incorporeal models. Lurynsar's Touch lasts for one round.

Q: Can a model benefiting from Lurynsar's Touch participate or lead a Combined Ranged attack or Combined Melee Attack?
A: No. A model affected by Lurynsar's Touch does not make melee or ranged attacks, it makes magic attacks.

...they can shoot jacks affected by Safe Passage but may not combine.
