Well generally seblances are just a single spesific thing the character can do while magic is much more versile. You can explain semblances without word "and" while magic turns into list. Expect there is Weiss and her family semblance which is both glyphs and summoning....

Okay, well semblances at least can't physically change the person's body that much, while magic can turn the person into completelly different being/thing (take Qrow and Raven turning into birds for example). Outside Ruby turning into petals.... Däng, that doesn't work either....

Magic can oneshot the opponent and doesn't need way to charge before that? That would make Silver Eyes magic, but I think they are supposed to be... Kinda?
