I treat magic as part of the setting, though I approach it in a way where it isn't embraced as a cheap excuse to do anything and everything. It bores me to tears when people push the agenda of 'my character is incredibly powerful' and never really allow their character to endure the occasional defeat or drawback.
Though that applies to characters wielding a bow, sword or pretty much anything else as much as it applies to magic wielders.
