Eskaver: I would argue Jafar (as a genie) would be fine power level wise, because as far as we can tell genies can't die, as part of their punishment. Therefore Jafar would be an immortal villain, and work fine.

Farerb: All fantasy uses magic to suit the plot. Don't kid yourself, just because it's harder to see it in something like Harry Potter. Nearly every book had some new magical revelation that you hadn't heard of until it was plot important. And then it was never touched on again. Great example: the Time Turners. How broken were those? Why did no one ever go back in time to stop Voldemort before he started terrorized the whole British magical community? See my point, all writers do it. I'm sure if I spent the time I could find examples in all the things you cited as "better than Once".
