This implies Jack's ability could be mystical as well...

Even SOME of his physical abilities seem augmented... Agility, reflexes, coordination, balance. Well, Jake's supposed to be a kind of old-school action hero, like Flash Gordon or Doc Savage, so that's why he seems a bit exaggerated.

His nose twitches when ghosts are nearby. My idea rather is that Jake is simply allergic to ghosts.

Okay, but those heroes were naturally muscular, Jake wasn't.Tasha, good suggestion as well.

I do believe Tracy is a mutant. If it was magical then maybe somehow it could be taken away and I'd rather see it as a permanent change.

The reason why he's an upgraded ape and not another human is so that magic doesn't work on him (see the live-action episode with the witch--her glamour works on Spenser but not on Tracy).

The only magical effect I can see on the original Ghost Busters is the rejuvenation in-between the series, but even that could be artificial.

I like the theory that Jake's allergic to ghosts. And apparently, it's an inherited allergy since his dad can also 'sniff' out ghosts as he stated in one episode. I'm surprised his dad didn't mention it to his son and rather his son discovered it on his own. It makes me wonder too, if Jake has offspring, to what degree would it pass down?
As for Jake's speed, agility, etc., he's very athletic and a gymnast. But, I'd also like to think that the uniform may have ability to enhance natural abilities (Just don't enhance Eddie's clumsiness!). Maybe the uniforms may have some sort of spiritual enhancements just like their ghost packs and ghost buggy do.

That's why they care so much about wearing them, no matter what. Also, why experiencing and enduring the Spectral Space if getting the uniforms is just a matter of clothes? Honestly, it was pretty obvious that the uniforms were somewhat "magic".
