contents Quantum magic, or non-stabilizerness, is an important quantum resource that characterizes computational power beyond classically simulable Clifford operations and is therefore essential for achieving quantum advantage. While previous studies have explored non-stabilizerness dynamics in random circuits and under time-independent generators, here we extend the study of its universal dynamics to time-dependent driving across quantum phase transitions. In particular, we show that the stabilizer Rényi entropies and the cumulants of the Pauli spectrum exhibit universal power-law scaling with the driving rate in slow processes. Moreover, we show that the logarithmic Pauli spectrum is asymptotically Gaussian, implying a lognormal distribution for the Pauli spectrum values. Our results are explicitly demonstrated by exact results in the transverse-field Ising model and by analytical approximations in long-range Kitaev models.
