if you want to lift something by telekinesis, you’d be just as tired, if not more, than if you used your hands. if you want to set something on fire by thought alone, you need to provide that initial energy somehow (like starting fire with bow drill). you’ll be drained just as much as after physical work
Obeying all of the laws of physics, magic wouldn’t work at all. Assuming you were able to break a few but kept some such as conservation of energy, it would be very powerful, ex: teleportation does not break conservation of energy as long as you teleport to the same height you left from. If you were able to extract energy from your surroundings, you could probably do basically anything you want. You could lower the sun’s heat by a degree and be able to move a mountain.
This would be a fair limit. You would be limited by certain conservation laws, but as long as you would provide an adequate energy source (say, like Flash, you had to eat a lot more food) it could still be useful.
But it still only works if magic actually works and if it doesn’t, then you just understand really well how you would have used magic, if it were actually real.
The ability to study, understand and use fantasy level magic.
you are still bound by laws of physics
magic is just physics we dont understand yet… think this could still work

Now you see why the people at Hogwarts have a big feast every other day. And I don’t recall the more corpulent ones using that much magic

Not the laws of chemistry, or biology?
I’m an immortal Alchemist!
yeah, immortal if you know what you’re doing
VERY mortal if you don’t
