If fire doesn't do bonus damage and just does neutral damage, you would not call it weakness. "He's weak to..." in all video games exclusively refers to something that does EXTRA damage, not just something an enemy isn't immune to. In video game terms, Superman would be weak to kryptonite as it would do extra damage against him, and would be neutral to magic as it affects him on the same level it affects anyone else. So Superman is a Pokemon that takes no damage from everything except Dark, which does normal damage instead of SE. Yes, that is another way to put it regarding magic.

Magic counts as weakness as it's the only other thing that can hurt him. Plenty of other things can hurt him. You just need to be really strong or powerful to use them. If you've ever played Shin Megami Tensei, magic would be like the Almighty element. It effects almost all targets normally, but no target is weak to it.

In the case of Superman, he would take normal damage from magic, but be weak to kryptonite and red sun radiation.

He died because the arrow he got shot with was poisoned. In some cases the poison was paralytic and other people killed him while he was helpless. If it was just a regular arrow, he'd just wrap up his foot and be all better a few days later. Another version of the story is that the arrow was empowered by Apollo.
