magic can be a science, or an art, but not "random bullshit go".
the word magic as "whimsy and wonder" and magic as "attempts at and methods for controlling supernatural forces by non-supernatural beings" are entirely seperate concepts.

If you believe charlie came before dave then MAYBE he killed her out of grief or at least jealosy, but the rest of his killings are a means to an end, more remnant or at least spiting henry.

It does just have straight up demon-summoning spell-casting sorcerers as well, but they also use the warp and are 99 times out of a 100 chaos aligned.

psionics is when people violate the laws of physics with just their minds, magic is when you violate the laws of physics with your mind plus some other stuff, usually combination of rituals involving cool looking trinkets, rocks, weird symbols, and random natural resources.

those aren't two magic systems, those are two aesthetics/design philosophies, you can be really creative within both of them. and c'mon the kind of "magic" system i'm describing is very obviously not the pinnacle of creativity or writing prowess, those are in opposition to "furthering the medium" by just flattening the concept of thaumaturgy to it's most bare bones and playing that straight.
