While I can agree with you in regards to metaphysics "Every act is a magical act", I don't think that covers it adequately.
Be it all magic or not, the world of Glorantha has a distinction between
magical and mundane to it's own denizens. I like the feel of glorantha
where the farmer and the traveller get grit in their sandals and and
where armor is heavy and tiring.
Glorantha has always been described as looking and feeling very much
like our own reality, when it comes to mundane things. Now if we have
people running down horses and leaping over the chiefs longhouse, I
think those instanses would be seen as magical by the people witnessing
them.
I admit that a person having several masteries in a mundane skill are epic and heroic, but there should still be a clear distinction between the heroism of mastering ones craft, and the feats that bring god's and heroes magic into the mundane world.
