Magic should be in the game, There is potions and enchanting and they are gonna be witches soon, so why not. Here is my idea, you go to a witch hut (in swamps) and fight the witch instead of potions they shoot fire and ice balls, and then at half health it uses powerful potions, it will use a staff to shoot the magic, then a rare drop is potions or a staff of fireballs, ice or more, it has a limited durability like a tool so you get to use it with limits, so its not overpowered, if you want to upgrade your staff and magic, there will be a new building in the npc villages, the potions and enchanting shop (owned by an elder mage) and you get misc potions from trading but there is a button on the trading menu, repair and upgrade then you can recharge and upgrade the magic!
With this minecraft will become more of an RPG than a Sandbox, which it is intended to be. Magic would just over do it in my opinion, plus that would require "mana" bars, staff usage, etc... It just wouldn't work. If you really want to play with magic go on some SMP servers that have magic plugins.

The durabliity bar is the amount of magic you have on the staff, but i get where your coming from about the RPG thing, But isnt Skyrim (perfect game) a sand box and a rpg?

Skyrim is an RPG not a sandbox, yes you can do almost what ever you like but you cannot build outside certain areas. Or burn down villages..
I've never really agreed that magic would make the game an RPG, nor have I even considered caring about how it could unbalance PvP (mainly because the same people complaining that magic would make the game an RPG are often the people complaining about PvP balance, and to me considering Minecraft as any kind of PvP based game is more of a stretch than adding so called "RPG" elements). The main thing that always made me shy away from magic in Minecraft is that nobody came up with a way to implement it that I liked.
But DrFM hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned. I would change a few things here and there, but overall really like the idea.
