Magic isn't the problem. The abundance of magic is. If you put in strong spells because you want to make magic awesome and cool, and then also have everyone in your game fling spells around left and right, then magic is bound to be overpowered in comparison to non-magic stuff. If magic and caster units (or heroes) are rare and expensive, they can be incredibly powerful without being overpowered. This would also add to the feeling that magic is actually magic. <
