Magic in superhero comics is often a problematic issue. Magic in superhero RPGs is no less of one.
Often, most games solve this by saying magic replicates any power or that the power you have comes from magic instead of a mutation or accident or not having parents.
Mighty Protectors by +Jeff Dee and +Jack Herman uses the approach that magic can be used to replicate a power and you can use the Arsenal ability to bundle a bunch of powers together as a spell.
I mentioned this before using the examples of my own characters Witch Queen and Teen Witch as well as my versions of Willow and Tara.
+bk adams is a YouTuber that has been doing a number of videos about Mighty Protectors. They are great to watch if you are new to the system and need some "real world" examples.
Here is his two-part series on the Arsenal ability and how to use it as a spell book.
He has even put up his Spell Book spreadsheet for you to use.
I wanted to post something similar here, but frankly, he does such a good job there is no need for me to go over it more. I do have a Spellbook I am working on that will also let me build spells from abilities. I will combine some ideas from his as well.
This puts me in the mood to run some more Supers games in 2018!
