I don't think the idea is to have *no* rules for magic. Rather, the question is whether magic might profitably be folded more into the general rules for using any ability, rather than set apart with several distinct systems as it is now. (I prefer the "several distinct systems" myself, as it adds a great deal of flavor IMO.)

Absolutely NOT. Why the hell would I pay good money for a game that doesn't have rules for one of the most fundamental aspects OF the game? That's like buying an edition of D&D that has streamlined, flexible, and fun rules for everything EXCEPT killing things and taking their stuff. That's just left up to the GM and players to make up as they go along.
