Magic can fall under both categories to a certain degree. On the one hand (skill), there are those who have trained in the mystic arts and learned different spells and techniques for wielding supernatural energies (i.e., Doctor Strange - Marvel Comics). One the other hand (superpower), there are those who have a natural capability for wielding supernatural energies without training. They may require instruction on how to best control it, but they are naturally capable of tapping mystical energies (i.e., Homo Magi - DC Comics). And of course, there are objects that are imbued with magical power (i.e., Excalibur - Arthurian legend), but that's a whole other discussion. Hope this helps.
