So do all these godlike characters use magic? if not what would it be classified as?
Deus uses magic. Eris I don't know about. The Witches definitely use Magic.

The Book is a tricky topic, while she does will it to be her weakness it also gives Syracuse and the other cities a sort of magical energy. It's difficult to explain but after the Book is shut the city begins to crumble, which is exactly what Eris wanted. I've believe that the Book could like a good luck charm, it's enchantments kept peace in whatever city housed it, I also thought that it might be more like a security blanket. The 'cross my heart' mark while it might be a self-imposed limit it also would make sense that if you look at it from the eyes of a child. In kid's movies the villain usually has a crucial weakness, as a kid it made sense to me that the promise of a deity is absolute. If you want to look at it from a mythological point, Eris could have sworn on the River Styx. Meaning she had to keep those particular promises, however explaining that to children is a lot harder than using a familiar mark of a promise and saying she has to do it. We must also take into account that while all of what you said could be true neither of us has much proof either way. All we have are the events of the movie, it's hard to say whether Eris set up the whole thing for fun because we just don't know. It adds layers of complexity that the common 7-11 year old can't fully understand.I can't help it either, sorry.

Yeah, she has pets/minions to do that for her. Getting involved with mortal lives is not a flaw, becoming obsessed with certain ones is a flaw. As much as I want to believe Eris could have done whatever she wanted, I can't because I believe that Eris must have weaknesses, if it isn't the book of peace then perhaps it is that the goddess of lies and deceit (amongst other things) has to keep her promises.

True but one of her fatal flaws is probably her obsession with humans/mortals. At one point she probably did like Sinbad but Maria changed him for, in Eris's mind, the worst. Your right about playing games, I don't think she gets any satisfaction from crushing others. You also have to remember she gave her word 'as a goddess' to Sinbad. While they don't go into detail about it, she isn't aloud to break that promise. Implying that there could be a number of rules deities from that universe have to follow.
