How much supernatural?

How much do you want the supernatural to be part of the setting?

Super common, to the point where most things that are modern tech can be done with magic (Eberon)

Common, any fair sized town should have a wizard or cleric or something, and magic should not be totally stigmatized (Forgotten Realms, Raymond Fiest's Riftwar Saga)

Kind of rare. While your average person should know magic exists, few people should have actually met a mage, and ESPECIALLY in rural areas it should be heavily stigmatized, (Dragonlance)

Rare. Most people are believers, but educated people are not. Most who claim power lack it, and magic is usually subtle and often unnatural (Conan the Barbarian, Soloman Kane, The Dark Tower)

Underground. Most don't believe. Magic may be extremely powerful, but for hundreds of reasons those who have it keep it covert to the point that few know of it. (Dresden Files, M:tA)

The Supernatural exists, but outside human control. Subtle sorts of supernatural critters exist (and maybe not so subtle), but humans can't really control the supernatural (Horror movies)

No magic. The really real world.

Something Else, or some specific combo. Please comment.
