Here I'll revert to the "someone else's problem," but: I know of people who didn't play an RPG of their favorite comic because they bogged down in the optional rules. So I contend you haven't hit the line yet. When you do, the entire thing becomes unusable because you can't figure out the parts that interest you.

The different approaches to magic don't require the theoretical background -- what you describe is, well, description. This needs only minimal rules support.
