I'm trying to figure out a magic system for a musket and magic setting. My setting needs magic, but I don't want it to eclipse the 18th-century tech. I've had a few ideas so far on how to make it less practical than gunpowder, such as requiring the sponsorship of morally ambiguous and deceptive spirits, or being intertwined with spirituality and religion, so that only priests and shamans have the privilege to learn it

I don't think my usual learned magic will work; it presents too many possibilities that could turn my setting into magepunk/aetherpunk
