The higher magicals in comic universes tend to have their magics pretty consistent otherwise a skyfather magically scrying some far off event might accidentally "rocks fall everybody dies" the whole thing if their magic decided to turn the viewpoint into a blackhole
MODERN definition I agree for the most part, but not all magic follows this law which is likely the point of the thread. Also it depends on who's standpoint we are looking at the op from.

It was more "on a whole" as in from street levelers magic to abstract magic and the same with science.
At higher levels they become more and more interchangeable but at the same time I don't see Odin and his ilk interacting with abstracts on the level of Reed or Pym as regularly as they seem to.... i.e. Galactus/LT/greater cosmic entities.
