That is interesting. I have to say though, if that initial definition is your understanding of magic, then just about any superpower could be considered magic since many of them seem to influence the natural world or causality (manipulating phyics, probability, the elements, etc.). I have always thought of magic as a unique type of energy that one could access either through study, natural affinity or a combination of the two (those who train to acquire the power, those with an inherent connection to it or a combination of the two). Both training and natural aptitude could translate into different techniques like necromancy or channeling, though the training skill side might have greater control over it.
