Narrative imperatives weights very heavily on stories, that's an undeniable fact (they are writen to sell, in case you forgot). Doctor Strange developping a scientific approach of magic to enhance his enormous powers even further ? Fingersnap, everything is solved. Then what ? That's a first rate plot-killer, and writers (you know, the guys that make fiction) like their storylines alive and well, for obvious financial reasons.

Magic is mysterious for lack of proper analysis. Do that with the right tools and methods, and it's not so mysterious anymore. Is this still magic ? And why wouldn't it be ? Magic is supernatural, not religious. Understanding its workings doesn't make it lose its power.
