Disadvantage: espers can only do one thing, no matter the diverse uses for their powers, fundamentally they only have one. Esper powers is not more practical, it's more simple, true, but at least Magic doesn't have this 'one-type-of-power-only' restriction. Espers need to have a OP power from the get go (Accelerator, Kakine, Gunha) to be comparable to Magicians.

Magic stomps Science in that regard, sorry.

But don't forget, for all their broken powers, Magicians have ridiculous weaknesses: find the loophole(s) in the mythology they use, and they are screwed (though most Magicians probably are aware of these kind of problems and take measures to prevent being affected by the weakness).

Frankly, I prefer the Jack of All Trades Magicians to the 'specialized in one thing only' Espers.
