The important thing about screw attack is it's having big weakness. It's basicly useless to use for attack against anything stronger then a paper bag and it's greatly lacking of control.

It's effective against all sorts of armored enemies, and as for control, just because you couldn't control it doesn't make it uncontrollable. Screw attack and space jump were both discovered in the ruins of an ancient civilization, and so IMO qualify for having mystical properties (highly advanced technology seeming to be magic and all...nothing is really magic, etc.)

Is the screw attack supernatural in nature?
And are you really that sure that a screw attack would be invulnerable to demonic power? The things from DMC are not of this world, they are powers of whose roots are basically from hell and some of whose power challenges Mundus (pretty much the incarnation of the devil himself).

Note that the screw attack is not foolproof and there is a way around it, to my knowledge. An example is the boss, Ridley, of whose tail can hurt Samus even while Samus is in a screw attack. (Super Metroid)
