Even if we keep it as is: how would we go about explaining how there's like half-a-dozen magic superheroes in a city in Maine?

Well, I personally think that the nature of our four mystics (five if you count supernaturals as part of mystics) are different enough from one another. Only two of the characters (The Mage and Epione), from what I have read from their character sheets, are the pure "wizard/magic users". The other two (or three if you count Barsavis) has powers coming from different sources. Barsavis is a supernatural being/ a personification of nature. Legions main power is duplication of himself and other people/ objects. And Aegis seems to have a limited scope of "magical" powers (healing, walls, shards). Furthermore, Legion and Aegis are not native to Lost Haven, Maine. Plus, Lost Haven (almost wrote New Haven >.<) is about NYC sized, if I recall correctly.
