Does this "apparent" mean "obvious" or "seeming"? I think it's "seeming". Does the meaning vary depending on context when "apparent" is a modifier before a noun?

ex) Some runners come to realize their creative potential while running. This is when running becomes art...Then, running, unlike any other activity, becomes a means toward solving problems and curing depression...This usually occurs only when the runner is relaxed and doesn't carry any great expectations into the run. The apparent magic that running sometimes provides occurs almost inevitably as a surprise.
