The sutta exemplifies how a wordling would interpret miraculous powers of a monk, by saying that it was not the monk who did it by his concentrated mind but he used charm X.
Now the wordling wants some quick fix charm and not work on his silā and samādhi.

Gandhari charm = psychic power of heretic jhāna attained person, who is called "isi" in Gandhara district.
Manika charm = telepathic power of heretic jhāna attained person, who is called "isi" in Manika district.
charm=power, there is nothing difference.

Gandhari Charm and Manika Charm are skills of greater powers of the will and wish that have been not seen since the time of the Buddha. After that period some rishis and vidyadharas have tried to research into them and having failed to find the original form, they invented occultic versions of them.
