(David Cake must surely have fond memories of this very discussion to bring it up again.)
I know that others don't share my interpretation of magical abilities, inhuman and superhuman actions, but here goes.
Whether or not you can successfully leap over a tree is a matter of relative ratings, not whether the ability used is magical or not. If a certain tree is 'tall' 17w and you have 'leap' 17ww, magical or otherwise, you stand a very good chance of leaping over the tree. If you have 'leap' 17, magical or otherwise, your chances are slim indeed.
Just because an ability tag includes a result (like 'leap over trees' or 'kill at a clance') doesn't mean that you can automatically use the power inherent in the ability; that's a matter of your rating - your capacity to utilize the ability.
Magical abilities aren't superior to similar mundane abilities; the 'magic' of magical abilities is that they can allow you to attempt actions that are inhuman: flying, casting lightning spears, igniting fires without flint or tinder.
A magical ability like 'Run as the wind' doesn't allow you to run intrinsically faster than the mundane ability of 'Run fast'. Whether you run faster or not is a matter of ability rating. The magic of 'Run as the wind' is that with that ability you can, say, run over water (the wind doesn't stop when it comes to a river, does it?), which you can't do with 'Run fast'.
If you have lots of masteries in a mundane ability, you obviously are superhuman and can attempt superhuman actions. But you can't attempt _inhuman_ actions with a mundane ability. So, whether or not you can leap over a tree is a matter of how high the tree is and how good you are at utilizing your powers of jumping.
