I sense that the anime may be avoiding the over-reliance on magic. If someone can use magic to power up a light source, then the next logical question would be : can magic not be used to do other things? In a world in which magic is common-place, is it not logical to use it to improve our lives?
Why, then, would the anime need to show Maou's various innovations? Why not have the council of mages (or whoever is in charge of magic) provide magical high-yield, pest-resistant crop that can grow in rocky, dry soil? Why use a compass, if magic can provide unerring GPS-like navigation accuracy?
If magic can be used to provide safe, reliable heat or kinetic energy, then basically magic has become the power source that would usher in the industrial revolution.
