Is this too close to alt. technology?

Hi, I'm building my first magic system for my worldbuilding project.

Base ideas:

  • Magic is fueled by a magic liquid substance "S"
  • Magic runes/scrolls/wands equivalent are small sculptures made from another magic metal "M"
  • for most of the users creating spells is mostly sculpting and creating new shapes from "M"
  • Casting spells is mostly activating those sculptures in the presence of S near the desired area of effect.

There of course will be a few types S, giving different effects, there will be mistycism, there will be balancing usage of S and so on.

But doesn't it sound like devices with batteries too much?

Any feedback walcomed. Thanks
