• Abstract: While the full non-stabilizerness (magic) of a quantum state contains local, basis-dependent contributions, a non-local formulation based on a minimization over local unitaries isolates the component associated with genuinely non-local correlations. Within such a framework, the Schmidt-gauge formulation of non-local magic provides a direct connection between genuinely non-local non-stabilizer correlations and the entanglement spectrum of quantum many-body states. Building on the exact Walsh--Hadamard representation introduced in our accompanying Letter, we develop the mathematical theory associated with this formulation. We extend the formalism to arbitrary bipartitions, prove the exactness of the Schmidt gauge for arbitrary $1\times N$ bipartitions, and derive general analytical properties of Schmidt-gauge non-local magic, including entanglement bounds, selection rules, and exact relations with the moments of the normalized Walsh spectrum. This representation also provides an interpretation of Schmidt-gauge non-local magic as a logarithmic inverse participation ratio normalized by a universal harmonic baseline, thereby relating it to excess delocalization in Walsh space. These results demonstrate that the Walsh--Hadamard representation reveals an underlying discrete harmonic structure that is hidden in the original spectral formulation and provides considerably more than an equivalent expression for Schmidt-gauge non-local magic. Rather, it furnishes the natural mathematical framework for its analytical investigation, placing the theory within the broader context of discrete harmonic analysis.
