I cant be bothered to care about magic or it's users in cape comics. It's an entirely bullshit coin toss of a superpower where the character do anything while the plot is vague enough by saying "ahhh these are the bindings for the world of what the fuck ever" without any real rules or restrictions. This is more than evident with characters like Dr Strange and Zatanna who's whole toolkit is just "let me pull this shit out of my ass and never do it again" by summoning tentacles or doing some weird light distortion or other dumb shit. You have a limitless character with no real challenges unless you enforce something vague and arbitrary to keep them at bay while the characters spout empty words
>inb4 it makes for cool visuals and a versatile character and thats what matters
You can have limitless characters who make cool visuals without being as nonsensical and self important about it. Shapeshifting, matter manipulation, lantern rings or whatever
>inb4 magician character who only shoots fireballs and makes portals
Just give them normal superpowers at that point and skip the magic crap
Also the fact writers never have any idea of how to add a villain to a magic character that's not a demon, another magician or some entity which just makes for very predictable conflicts
