To me there are two types of fantasy-themed rps:

We have the Elder Scrolls and Dungeons and Dragons types where magic, witches, warlocks and the like are running amok and there is magic off the wazoo. Like, summoning titans, shooting lightning bolts, raising the dead, and causing all sorts of magical mayhem.

Then we have the more political-themed ones like Game of Thrones, where magic is subtle. It's there, but comes with a price. Sort of like Fullmetal Alchemist's explanation of Equivalent Exchange. Or at least a variation of it. In these types of fantasy-themed rps, the focus is more so on the country and -enter impending doom here-. It's about the characters rather than flashy magic.

Personally, I can be down for either types. The story is what's most important.
