Because we already have killer carps and dragons so why not magic?

Are you in league with The fish cleaner?  ;)

Anyway, yeah, Toady plans to put magic in the game at some point, I think, and there are literally dozens of threads about it. :)

Run a search on "magic". You'll find plenty of well-developed discussions on what a magic system for DF would be like, or how it should be like. ;D

It sounds like Toady is hesitate to put magic in because when he does it is going to be a large undertaking. He want's it to be random and rare enough so that it stays mysterious and powerful.

And produce something awe inspiring!

Sounds just like a mood to me...

In that case, Toady's been in a Strange Mood for seven years now.

DF is Planepacked. 3.0. Yes.
