What counts as "magic", exactly? E.g. the world of BLEACH has 3 wholy distinct sources of supernatural power, only one of which looks like traditional, wizards & witches magic. Is vampirism magic? What about superstrength in Norse mythology?

I think this comment did a good job of explaining it

Excluding wods with magic in a contemporary or utopian setting, maybe some DnD world? You don't need to have magic abilities to use magic items and plenty of settings are reasonably advanced.

You don't have to exclude worlds with magic in a utopian or contemporary setting, what examples do you have?

Kiki's Delivery Service?

Well Harry potter has already been mentioned as a contemporary example. Can't think of any utopian examples tbh, reckon they are hard to write good stories for. But since these sort of worlds works be obvious picks I figured I'd post the next next thing.

Percy Jackson. My life would be normal!

Wakfu's World of Twelve. I wouldn't mind being an ecaflip or pandawa or even just an ouginak but knowing me I'd just end up as something lame like a Iop or Enutrof or some other boring class.
