I am assuming, contrary to Hai's opinion, that the world DOES have magic.<br/><br/>However, amongst the humans, Magic is considered evil, and as such, is rarely if ever used.<br/><br/>That doesn't prevent people from having access to magic. Particularly non-humans, such as Elves.<br/><br/>As for how Alloryn works... well, she has a mixture of 'magics'. Some that doesn't seem like magic at all, or is so unnoticable that it doesn't right matter.<br/><br/>And then there's the usual flashy stuff that could land her in trouble... Lightning Bolts, Fireballs, et al. She wouldn't use these around humans whatsoever, and certainly not in the forests or woodlands.
