Question

I think I understand the distinction that you are making Iarwain. I look at it a bit more simplistically, though. I definitely see a lack of “occult” type magic, as in incantations and witch’s brews. The stock staple of most fantasy is that magic is a learned skill. A wizard is someone who has learned how to cast spells, i.e. D&D style. Is this what you mean by “ordinary magic”?
