I think powers make some RPs much more interesting. Just because a character has some sort of magical power, doesn't mean it automatically becomes perfect in every way. If I remember correctly.. I think I was in a pretty amazing RP that allowed powers once.
The creator of the group made strict rules about having powers. For example, if you wanted your character to have some sort of powers, it was going to cost you. If you wanted to be able to see the future, you'd have to give up some of your skills, etc. In my opinion that made the RP work pretty well, nobody became insanely powerful and it actually kept things interesting.
So in my opinion, if a magical character/RP is handled correctly it can turn out pretty great.
