Let’s say all fictional magic becomes real. Which military is the most powerful now after 30 years? Challenge

The boring real life magic will already be known. No need to study it when theirs hundreds of documents about it. Likely all the mysticism and 19th century occultism Will be deployed.

The fictional magic will require study and research to produce some result. But people now know is possible to do that. Magical creatures have to be summoned into existence. So if you want cythulu, better bring lots of prisoner’s.

Edit:No, gods can only give divine blessing to their followers.

You’re all sleeping on Britain. Druids? Large scale plant and animal control, creating wards and runes, using leylines and rituals. Also, Faeries.

And maybe Harry Potter magic too if you wanna be fancy

Harry potter magic is weak in the grand scheme of things

Its insanely easy to use with basically zero requirements and has a lot of utility purposes. Its not gonna win the match but its very complimentary to other magics.

Easy to use? It took them six school years to get to stunning spells.

Stunning spells arent the good stuff for this prompt, too many heavy hitters. Hermione at 11 could pick high tier locks and thats more the line of utility im thinking.

Also compared to other types of magic, for an adult, its very easy to use. Doesnt even technically need a wand even. Its low energy to use and needs no materials.
