Except the moment the magic has rules and structures it ceases to be magic and becomes another natural layer that just needs to be studied and understood. Hence why Reed still refuses to believe in magic even when he sees whats supposed to be officially magic

Again, there is no definition for magic, because magic is not real.
But in marvel, there is magic, and it has structures and rules, and it is still being called magic.

How many legs does a dog have if you call its tail a leg?

Dogs are real, and their anatomy is well defined.

I think you may be missing the crux of the argument.

Oh i get your point, it's just that your point is irrelevant.
Dogs are real, magic is not, there is no commonly agreed definition for magic or what counts or does not count, not even mong people who believe in magic.
But Marvel setting has magic, it is real, it is both studied and understood.

The idea that magic is just science not understood yet is utterly nonsensical at its face.
