This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My favorite freeform magic system is Eldritch Ass Kicking (the RPG of arcane action and old men with sticks).    Magick is very loosely defined with broad modifiers so you could tweak the general magic into specific spell effects.

I have run it several times at conventions and its beer & pretzels, but tremendous fun for a light hearted gaming group.

If the rest of the game is just as loose then I have no issue with it because all the mechanics are on the same baseline.  Where it sucks is if everything else is rather detailed then you have something that is ambiguous.  That's when you run into problems.
