For my part, I think that it will be interesting to to watch the development of scholarship on magic over the coming decades as it relates to the professionalization of the subject. In the realm of ceremonial magic, we're still very much in the early stages in which a corpus of readily-accessible primary source works is under creation. Anthropology and archaeology have followed similar patterns, in which disciplines that provided room for talented non-professionals via initial efforts have since become the domain of university-trained and, in many cases, -employed individuals.
This isn't to say I advocate such a transformation, as I think the study of magic gains a great deal via interest from a broad range of individuals. Nonetheless, I'm wondering whether the norms that will exist in years to come will follow the lines of other disciplines.
