Yeah, I intentionally wrote magic as a background element. I chose magic as powers because society/world altering abilities are expensive points-wise. Semi-justified social stigmas against mages explain why they can't reliably control governments. And mages are too busy feuding with each other to take over the world themselves.

All of this explains how magic can exist in secret while still being useful to mages.
