This might be a controversial opinion, but I personally think that if you can write your own lore to back it up you can get away with small amounts of actual magic; Remnant has a long history which has been forgotten, the relics have been around since the begining of civilization (probably LONG before even Ozpin first came to be), and a lot can happen in that much time. Hell, even after the wonderful wizard of Oz came around, there's THOUSNADS of years in which a relic or relics may have come into possession of someone who used them to create something with a little bit of magic in it.

The problem being you need to actually put effort into making a solid story for that magic for anybody to let you get away with it; and it's gonna need to be distinct from the cannon magical abilities.

@Majora you're forgetting Qrow and Raven who were given their shapeshifitng powers by Ozpin's magic.
