Fiora uses mana, therefore she is a mage. Vayne uses mana, therefore she is a mage. Talon uses mana, therefore he is a mage.
w0t
Blade Waltz is a flash step, makes sense for there to be some magic backing at least on that. Talon can blink and go invisible. Not sure about Vayne.
I disagree with your reasoning. Fiora is supposed to fulfill the fencer archetype and fulfill a fencer fantasy. What do most fencer characters have as a special move? A flurry of quick precise strikes being too fast to see or retaliate against.
If Talon's blinks are magical then so is Kat's shunpos. But I don't see her mana pool. Talon also fulfills the serious assassin archetype and most serious assassins will get away from the murder scene unseen. I guess that's what the invisibility is supposed to fulfill.
Shooting a gun using mana : Magic
calling a magicall blade out of the sky to execute his foe : Not magic
Nope. It's...
DEMACIA!!!!!!!
It's the power of patriotism.
His guns are a relic weapon, and thus are using magic. The aiming part is done manually. Think of a real pistol. Sure, you are not actually throwing a bullet at someone, the gunpowder does that for you. But you still have to aim it yourself, and thus you still deserve credit (good or bad) for what that bullet does. The same thing applies. Lucian deserves credit for everything his guns are doing.
no credit if the op weapon is point and click lmao.
way to break the 4th wall
Some call it magic... I call it-
magic
Oh, so Olaf throwing his axes is magic now ?
Undertow : 60 mana
Best mage NA

Decoy: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 MANA
MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 60% AP)
too bad lucian doesnt need aim because all his skills are easy as shit to land or is point and click. cough q double crit auto instakill
lucian isn't pointing and clicking! he is the one aiming the gun we are pointing and clicking
people need to stop breaking the 4th wall
Mana is a deep inner energy gathered from the mind rather than the body. Many champs apply it lightly to fire weapons, augment attacks, and conjure ammo.
The power of one's mind is vast, allowing simple things such as bullets or arrows practically effortless to create from the very fabric of reality itself. However, Super Mega Death Rockets, Puncturing taunts, and Riftwalking (especially riftwalking) begin to tear at ones mindpower as well as the fabric of reality. The fields of justice is made to handle these tears but cooldowns are in place to prevent any major damage (do you realize what rapid fire Mega Inferno Bombs would do to a place? There's a reason URF wasn't permanent people. That extra week we got was pushing it).
Garen's moves are simple, which is why he has no costs. He instead uses the holy force that is the honor of Demacia. People say he's crazy, but they just don't see the giant sword landing on them like us summoners do. Of course, if uses his spells too much, he will drain Demacia's honor faster then they can gain it.
Katarina is so deathly precise that she can travel through and pulls her weapons through folds in reality as not to damage it. The cooldowns are her finding folds that can be used for a particular attack. The tear caused by someone's soul being protected from death opens up many folds, so her cooldowns are lowered.
The Ninja's 

use only bodily energy to fire their weapons (which may or may not themselves be magical). Simply conjuring the weapon does not take any significant amount of mana. Cooldowns are either because they are readying another weapon to throw or the whole reality tearing thing.
Champs that use hp simply use life force.
Anything I left out?
You left out
and a couple others I think.
Piercing Light: 50/55/60/65/70 mana
Ardent Blaze: 60 mana
The Culling: 100 mana
Sorry, but it's magic.
einstein.
Brent may be right.Basically any champ who uses mana is a mage even if they are considered to be fighter,marksman etc.
Mage
OP
EDIT: Actually, any champ who only scales off of AP is a mage. Any champ that scales off AP and some other stat only uses magic.
Warwick isn't a mage... Singed isn't one either but he is a crazy chemist that uses magical potions so I guess that fits into one of the mage archetypes.
Warwick doesn't scale only off AP, and Singed is a modern mage aka chemist slash tank.
Touche, just checked and apparently the only spell that doesn't scale off of AP is his ult... And yeah, that's sort of what I was getting at for Singed.
Also, what about Darius and Draven?
Warwick has exactly one skill that scales off of AP, and even that has a healing factor and is oriented more towards a fighter playstyle. (Additionally, it has 100% AP scaling, which IIRC you'll never find on a mage. It's meant to encourage alternate builds than simple bruiser, not make him a mage.)
Singed is weird. We're not contradicting each other though.
What about Darius and Draven? They both scale completely off AD. A mage build, or any AP at all, is absolutely, completely, totally worthless on them.
Yeah mb about the Darius and Draven thing. I forgot we were talking about champs that scale off of AP, not champs that have mana.

That moment when you realise that Darius uses mana and he literally has nothing. NOTHIGN that could even be considerect magical. Like... GAREN has more magic. (w and ult) RIVEN! But naaah
The only one I can think of that uses magic when she shouldn't.....
Q - Legit not magic.
W - Placing traps? People been doing that for thousands of years and trust me there aint many humans with magic.
E - Net....Again not magic.
R - Arguably the only ones who think sharpshooting is magic are "iwannabeasniper" fan bois.
Um, the fact that her Ultimate's bullet "CURVES" through the air to follow targets moving to the side, seems kinda like magic to me.
Apparently slapping people in the face is magic now.

Resource: Rage, not mana, not energy, not precision, just rage. Q: Punches twice very fast. No cost when not ulted. W: Creates a swirling torrent of fire around herself. No cost when not ulted. E: Launches a ball of fire form her hands. No cost when not ulted. R: Transforms into a raging dragon, enhancing her other abilities. Cost: must be at maximum rage to use.
Shyvana's very rage is so powerful that she can temporarily enhance her punching speed for a single attack, set the very air around her on fire, launch fire that can pass through enemies, and even transform into a massive beast! All through how pissed off she is.
