Currently magic users in Marvel such as Basic Magic users have abilities like type 1 conceptual manipulation, plot manipulation, and other abilities. I have no problems with the nature of magic itself being a type 1 concept but my issue lies with the fact that these characters are getting concept hax simply because their powers have magic in it. Simply using magical spells or using an ability that stem from magic should not grant type 1 CM. Juggernaut recently got type 1 conceptual manipulation for this exact reason indirectly. For these characters to actually get type 1 concept hax, there needs to be evidence that they can actually shape the fundamental nature of magic itself and change the rules of magic. Just anything directly affecting concepts via magic is fine but simply casting a basic spell or using magical attacks does not reflect this at all. The frustrating thing is that even the magic page admits that basic magic users are users who are never even shown using any spells besides basic blasts. They did not change the nature of magic at all or anything like that. None of the basic magic users have manipulated magic in a way that allows them to affect concepts and we're supposed to believe they can do something like this all because they casted a magical spell or that their powers have magic in it. Some examples of blatant conceptual manipulation in Marvel via magic is in Wiccan's profile like how It was stated that Demiurge will rewrite the laws of magic and define all magic in the future. I am not seeing anything remotely close to this from many of the magic users.
Another ability that i have problems with is many magic users having plot manipulation. Many of the magic users have not showcased the ability to manipulate the plot but they just have it because magic is involved. Not really sure how Juggernaut having magical powers somehow means he has plot manipulation.
If there is no evidence that the characters can directly affect concepts or plot with their magic or if their is no evidence that they can actually change the nature of magic then conceptual manipulation and plot manipulation for many of the magic users need to go. These are the basic magic users currently:
Abomination
Agatha Harkness
Amadeus Cho Hulk
Angela
Apocalypse
Black Knight
Blackheart
Colossus
Ghost Rider
Hallows' Eve
Hela
Hulk
Invisible Woman
Jane Froster
Jean Grey
Juggernaut
Khonshu
Kraven the Hunter
Mephisto
Mindless Ones
Moon Knight
Nico Minoru
Nyx
Odin
Pluto
Red Hulk
Red She-Hulk
Marduk Kurios
Satannish
She-Hulk
Skaar
The Stranger
Surtur
Thor
Those Who Sit Above In Shadow
Tyr Odinson
White Fox
Zeus
Edit: After some discussion I think it's better for all profiles of magic users to have the respective feats that they have accomplished via magic listed as such is the purpose of an indexing site, Since Haxes like Plot or Concept are very versatile in nature covering many possible applications I think it's best to have the necessary feats listed so that one can determine the scope, applicability, usage and limitations of the magic users that possess such versatile hax. If a magic user doesn't have the feat at all then it should be removed.
New Proposal
Edit 2: It's being discussed that the nature of magic section should not have Paraconsistent Physiology and Nonexistent Physiology due to it being outdated
