As far as canon explanations, you could argue that magic is a mix of talent, emotion, mental focus, etc. so that explains how sometimes people do things, and sometimes they do other things. The main issue is that when Magic plays a major role, it needs to be kept intact. I say that simply because every new threat is a threat because of...........wait for it.........magic! Magic can do like everything and not much, but it's too loosely defined and structured (though they have improved). That's why people get sick of amnesia, but were at least interested in the dreamcatchers because it's established. But the Dark Curse isn't doing well because they ignore the defined rules and stuff and just do it.
