What sort of magic would it entail?

Probably because he is a product of an education system where they don't know what Neo-Platonism is or the importance of it on western metaphysical thought.

5 part Elementalism (Earth, Wind, Fire, Maurice White and the unchanging Aether that makes up the heavens), primitive humorism (which was no laughing matter), that weird "mind goes to the sun, soul goes to the moon" reincarnation system.

And the Platonic Realms which contains the idealised version of all knowable objects (and thus, any object not found on the Platonic Realms is unknowable)

Oh, and there's The Prime Mover, though that might be a later christian addition.

Spontaneous generation. Some creatures just spawn from nothingness. No eggs, no births.

No, the Fraternity of Order are the closest to neo-platonics, though they're also Neo-Pythagorean and pretty much any Rules focused philosophical grouping that isn't aesthetics, cynicism, Stoicism, solipsism, nihilism, BOOMTITTYDOOMdada or hedonism.

There would be a lot of focus on self-improvement and attempting to reach divine knowledge via introspection and Greco-Roman values. Also attempts to transcend the physical world through constant iteration and perfection.

And insects have no more than 4 legs.

And you can make a baby from just sperm if you can find a fertile enoguh feild - and further more, sperm contain itsy bitsy tiny people who in turn contain even smaller people and so to an ultimately finite degree.

Also: Was Plato the "Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age" guy? And by that I mean, there was a greek theory that before their contemporary period, there was a period of men who were "made of silver" and more moral and upright than them and suffered less and weren't such manlets, and BEFORE the silver men there was in turn a "golden age" of "golden men" who were morally, intellectually and physically perfect in every way, and thus the contemporary "bronze" age was a fallen world filled with useless moronic manlets.

You should check out F.A.T.A.L., which us a really faithful and realistic fantasy game based on Plato and other important philosophers in an adult setting with light fantasy and very in depth but unobtrusive statistics.
