That makes sense enough to me-so magic is more of a general thing in your world, while in my world things are divided into "true magic" and "magecraft..." though I tend to use "magic" as a blanket term for people not from my world because it's probably going to feel like the same thing to the majority of people.

Honestly, it would count as a spell both ways, but it would be considered "magecraft" rather than "magic." I don't want to say that magecraft is more like taking a shortcut because it still does some things that are borderline impossible by mundane means, but they don't upset the balance of the natural world too badly. For example, creating fire with no burnable material at hand would still require the use of mana or some object imbued with magical power beforehand as a substitute for the mundane means that could be used to create fire otherwise. It's still "magic," in a sense, but what we consider to be "true magic" would have to be something completely against the laws of the world, like travel between worlds or time travel. There's nothing even resembling those things that can be achieved by mundane means at this time, so they still qualify as "magic;" however, if scientists in the future managed to find a way to travel through time purely through science and technology, it would stop being magic.

Does that make sense...? Like all forms of knowledge, even we find it rather convoluted and still don't fully understand it, so I don't really blame you if you have difficulty with it.
