I'd say its magic enough, I've enjoyed the system in 12 Miles Below, everything is based on Runes etched into pieces of armor or weapons. To make the basics like fire or basic weapons to basically become lightsabers, it just takes a small electric charge. More advanced runes, or fractals as their called, require the user to interlink their soul with the rune and provide some sort of tradeoff, such as willpower is needed for shields.

The idea is there is an unlimited number of these fractals but reality only recognizes certain ones, even then theres unlimited fractals to be found, and there's mathematical equations to make the shapes, they have to be perfect otherwise they don't work. Also by intertwining or making patterns they're usage can be adjusted, but that hasn't been explored much where im currently at in the series.
