1. Magic is anything that has any impact when you do something. For instance, you perform one action, and then another action comes. So, it's wrong to think that magic is about to summon any outer world kinds or something. Magic is the practice that work as something that can be spelled or written with words.
2. During the history there was as magic so science, and the last one occured periodically. Surely, there happened some episodes in the history when all what we call science were: like electricity in Egypt, pythagorean geometry, Aristarchus of Samos's astronomy, Galen's medicine, Necronomicon, Ruymond Lully's Ars Magna, etc. So, people did practice magic, but some things which we call today as 'science' occured. By the way, it didn't always impact on people to left practicing magic, because the elder ones knew that magic is something to be more general, and that's why more philosophical than science.
3. Philosophy is the most general area, but magic has to be somewhere at the next step. As soon as magic is wider, we can say that taking science as something to be literally philosophical is abnormal narrowing of philosophy. Since that magic is something to be close to geometry and math.
4. As geometry and math magic has formulations, oaths, curses, and so on, but magic is taken as more general and not only a priori art, so that's why it (the magic) ties up many things in the many realities. Because we don't know what math must be in another reality (how it must look like) we cannot claim that our math is the math that works for all the universe. (The same idea was being developed by Saul Kripke in his interpretations of latter Wittgenstein's ideas.)
5. We can call science as 'magic that somehaow works during some epochs' or 'this epoch magic'. Maybe the state of affairs (territories, lands, waters, clouds, etc) would look different, or mankind hadn't handled iron or metal, so it could be another reality with another rules. (That's why, btw, magic works with chemistry the most, because depending on material the rest might have been changed completely.)
