There was a "war of the magi" set before the game's events, and the way you acquire magic is from other already magical creatures.
k but it's still being re-discovered and implemented in society

Sorta, but not in the way I meant. The magic in FF6 already pre-exists and is merely granted to the player characters through the magicite and minor grind.
well magic has to exist in the world in some way to begin with. it can't be introduced from nothing. magic is a force of nature, and spellcasting is harnessing that force. (right, like you could talk about "the invention of electricity". that doesn't mean we created electricity from scratch; rather, we discovered its existence, the rules about how it works, methods to harness it in useful ways, etc.)

FF6 (and some other square games as well) is specifically about the society discovering magic as a force of nature (albeit from an alternate dimension) and coming up with ways of harnessing it.
