jdk.internal.reflect.MagicAccessorImpl is package private and it looks 
like you are trying to create the sub-type in a different package (and a 
different class loader). There are CLI options for patching java.base at 
both compile-time and run-time. If java.base/jdk.internal.reflect is 
opened then it's possible to inject classes into that package at 
run-time too. Maybe it better if you could start by explaining why you 
are trying to do, maybe there is a way to steer you away from hacking 
the classes in jdk.internal.reflect.
