That is rather of of how I think the books as well. Alien space magic exists. Every once and a while a researcher discovers some mini Cthulhu, how do the humans respond?

It is a book about human drama. If you lean too heavily on space magic, the human component becomes uninteresting because there can always be some unknowable deus ex machina that flips the world on its head.
