It's all magic. Just the degree to which it manifests.
[ Ambrose once suggested the connection to magic is strengthened here due to their proximity to the Singularity. Geralt thinks this may be true. It would track, that worlds which exist on some invisible path further from the monolith holds less magic than those closer to it. To him, it's the only thing that explains the threads of commonality between how magic is formed across each realm: variations on rituals and alchemy and spellcasting, manipulation of the elements. No two are exactly the same, but it's all more similar than not. Same idea for the monsters.
The biggest difference is not in what type. Rather, it's in how much. As in, how much of the magic and monsters are present in each world itself. ]
Back home, mages are trained into such if they exhibit early signs of Chaos. A conduit moment, they call it. Perhaps on your sphere, the connection is weaker. More complex spells can't be cast without making deals with...demons.
