Okay..
Some settings offer magic as a thing you can learn.. (Riftwar Saga). You can learn phrases and write words of power
In Tad WIlliam's Memory Sorrow and Thorn, magic is something simpler, the way a song is sang..
A system of magic is simply put.. the way magic works.. and how people/or whatever influence it and use it..
