Why not have both?
That's called Fantasy.
I disagree with the idea that you can't have both personally. Having extrapolation of current technology can be done while also having magic. From what you said it seems you are saying that fantasy overrules science fiction. "Oh there is magic, therefore it is fantasy never mind the science fiction elements." If that is true than quite a few of Isaac Asimov's stories crossed over into the realm of fantasy instead of science fiction. Why is fantasy the "stronger" genre? Why does it have to be one or the other? What's wrong with saying it is "Science Fiction with some Fantasy elements?" The main reason I bring it up though is because even Bungie has said "you could call it magic" as if to imply it has a scientific explanation of some kind. And as Arthur C. Clarke said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
