Runeterra is an immensely magical world, sometimes to a fault as it was almost the cause of it's destruction during one of the many wars that were waged upon it.
It wasn't rare, but the truly powerful are and it was them who made the decisions and shaped the world making the weaker fear them or adore them, many resented them.
It was learnable... to a point. There were many ways to use 'magic' in the sense of it being something incredible but very few were able to wield pure or raw magic in it's strongest ways.
As far as the substitutes, many delved into technology or magitech which provided... interesting results. Alchemy was also heavily used but mainly by the people of Zaun.
Hope that's enough to answer and satisfy your curiosity~!
