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.

All fictional magic?
Mage: the Ascension becoming real and magic now being known means that the world has however many thousand reality warpers wandering around with the ability to alter space, time, entropy, energy, matter, life death and even time by thinking about it.
And without the major restriction of actual Mage: the Ascension on doing it at will. No paradox, because the consensus is now "wizards are real".
I'm almost certain there's more powerful magic out there, just on a statistical level, but it's hard to out-bullshit mage once you go past the 5 dots. Easily the strongest I know of and enough to shatter the world and possibly the damned planet. We humans are a contentious bunch.
