As Alex said in another comment, in my Ravenstone series there's lots of different kinds of magic, and different ways to do certain things doable without magic. I won't go through them all again, but I am especially proud of the magic system the Lichters use. It's steampunk mad science. The main magitech they use is "cold steam," which is steam power with lukewarm steam made of magic. There's also phlogistons, plotosium (magical helium), and a number of other magical substances.
