Why assume humans are the only source of consciousness?
'Conventional weapons' would be effective against monsters because they're made of dreamstuff too, fundamentally. It's like hitting a monster in your dreams with a sword you've also dreamed up.
Similarly, consciousness could generate effects like flames or whatever, so the magic equivalent is likely to be very similar to MARDEK's or any other fantasy game's, just with some different lore behind it.
I've probably written about these things in a few scattered posts, but perhaps I'll write a lore-specific post at some point. There's already a lore section on this site (check the footer, on the left), but there's not much there at the moment; I might update that at some point, for my own reference as much as anything.
