Magic as far as fantasy is concerned can e broken down into 3 groups and unfortunately 2/3 are pretty much useless.

1. Ritual- the magic the requires a focus and actions preformed to end a result. Example dnd leap were you break a grass hopper leg to jump higher. The only saving point is that these spells sometimes stay in effect until used.

2. Evocation. The ones were a phrase is spoken. This literally telegraphs your next movie. The only people who would benfit from this are rappers , auctioneers and the guy who gives legal disclaimers. Anyone else would be instantly targeted attack. Kinda like post 9/11 when anyone spoke arabic and got randomly selected for additional screening

3. Mental abilities. These are you xmen like energy projection abilities. These would work because its basically an invisible gun that doesn't leave much in the ways of evidence. Videogame wise think cole from infamous or comic wise magneto vs avatar aang. Cole isnt preforming a stance (except for power moves) he could just chip damage aang while avoiding attacks without canceling his next move. Magneto just starts in probably doesnt even look at aang and crushes aangs heart with the iron in his blood and walks away.
