I didn't read the books but the show certainly doesn't make an effort to explain who gets magic, or what magic can actually do. The Red Woman can make a vagina specter out of leech blood capable of killing a king but sacrificing a whole damn person is only enough to melt some snow.

The books aren't much better either. Melisandre's god does seem to be the only one with powers, everyone else's religion system/magic does fuck all

We don't know because in the 20 years since Euron was introduced there hasn't been an actual followup published

Old Gods my man

Not to the same flashy extent but greenseers and wargs and whatnot are a thing

Greenseers and wargs appear to be a genetic component that helps use that type of magic. Everything else about the old gods seems like lies from Children of Forest. They can easily watch out of the trees with faces so they convince the dumb violent humans to carve faces for them and do everything important in front of those trees so the Children can spy on them.

We just gonna pretend like the faceless men arent using magic?

most the magic is hidden from the POVs or just deep in the lore but theres still some flat out instances of it, with the most prominent having to be the house of black and white.

The white walkers use magic

Also the way the show explains the fire gods magic was infuriating

"lol we don't know bro and we don't care about the show enough anymore to tell you"

Thats how he gets away with it being super random. Its mysterious to the protagonist too. He keeps magic at a distance, its rare and its a slow build.

There's no magic system. It's kinda like LOTR magic.

The adherents to god of light or whatever seems to demonstrate the most magic in the books. Such as Melisandres feats or how the eyepatch guy and Catelyn Stark get resurrected.

To me its unclear if the faceless men are explained by magic or if its pure skill/technique. But its been a while since I read them.
