To clarify...
There's three varieties of magic. The first is sleight of hand and fantasy. It's the Hollywood movie magic and party tricks. It's practically useless, outside of stoking the imagination.
Then there's Satanic magics. Satanic magics, dark magic, is about contracts and legal seals binding you to a demon and then severing that bond by taking God's name in vain. It's rape of a spirit and fraud against nature itself. That's not what Agrippa is writing about with this.
The third form of magic, and I hesitate to call it that, is the magic described here by Agrippa. It's a magic of understanding and knowledge of the Natural world. A classification of things and the ability to discern the "virtues" of anything you encounter. It's the ability to look at a tree and see how the grain grows, such that you know exactly what beam that comes from it can best be used to make. It's the ability to look over a man, look at his strengths and weaknesses, and put him where he can shine brightly in glory of God. It's the ability to look at elements and discern how close to purity they are, and to harness such purity in order to find the Substance of God. In short, a philosophical Gnosis -- to become Enlightened and at one with The Creator's Creation.
It's not inherently Satanic, though you can use it for Evil means. Just as a tool becomes a weapon when used for destruction's sake. Again, if you have questions, I'll provide answers. Just give me a link to the page and a quote of the passage and I'll explain it best I can.
Why is this relevant to Q?
Because, believe it or not, this is the origin of the MAP.
This is the magic of words. Of classification. Of the spirit, qualities, and virtues of things. Each of those capitalized words are THINGS. These THINGS have qualities, virtues, understandings, and double meanings. Discernment is required to discover the hidden intent behind their use.
Put the pieces together.

Seeing there is a Three-fold World—Elementary, Celestial and Intellectual—and every inferior is governed by its superior, and receiveth the influence of the virtues thereof, so that the very Original and Chief Worker of all doth by angels, the heavens, stars, elements, animals, plants, metals and stones convey from Himself the virtues of His Omnipotency upon us, for whose service He made and created all these things: Wise men conceive it no way irrational that it should be possible for us to ascend by the same degrees through each World, to the same very original World itself, the Maker of all things and First cause, from whence all things are and proceed; and also to enjoy not only these virtues, which are already in the more excellent kind of things, but also besides these, to draw new virtues from above. Hence it is that they seek after the virtues of the Elementary World, through the help of physic, and natural philosophy in the various mixtions of natural things; then of the Celestial World in the rays, and influences thereof, according to the rules of Astrologers, and the doctrines of mathematicians, joining the Celestial virtues to the former. Moreover, they ratify and confirm all these with the powers of divers Intelligence, through the sacred ceremonies of religions. The order and process of all these I shall endeavor to deliver in these three books: Whereof the first contains Natural Magic, the second Celestial, and the third Ceremonial. But I know not whether it be an unpardonable presumption in me, that I, a man of so little judgment and learning, should in my very youth- so confidently set upon a business so difficult, so hard and intricate as this is. Wherefore, whatsoever things have here already, and shall afterward be said by me, I would not have anyone assent to them, nor shall I myself, any further than they shall be approved of by the universal church and the congregation of the faithful.
I'll back that diatribe as a clew to our actual salvation as a nation.
The average cabalist minion seems to be practicing a low form of magick, and even magic. Giving away the trick before it starts and still have cards falling out of sleeves and rabbits running offstage.
Magi:
As the biblical story has two elites taken up on a high place, each above the plain.
One looks to take advantage, the other looking at the source.
Who portended the birth of the 'Savior' in the bible?
Astronomical tower as a high place figuratively and literally, it showed 'one's place' 'on earth as it is in heaven'.
But without the knowledge of the highest (spirit), it is literal and dead in said spirit and will become as system of control using 'magick' which magic imitates.
Two on a high place: One as black magician/necromancer (magick), and one as ___ (insert idea of perfect balance here). (gnostic 'ogdoad', greek 'christos' etc)
Even the lower 'magician' using actual smoke and mirrors holds power over the plain. These are now called Scientists, by the way. And it's bad magic.
The books of the old testament are testament to when magic took the baal by the horns yet again and profaned the temple with sacrifice as result.
These studies you mention, of the 'natural', celestial and ceremonial were seen as interlocking dimensional wheels or spheres of influence. They weren't wrong.
"The devil goes to and fro" in imitation of balance in the dichotomy known in the ancient past as Zeno's Paradox and currently as the Hegelian Dialectic.
The fulcrum as 5:5, zero sum hub or chrism from which all subsequent 'spokespersons' deviate and which indeed "convey from Himself the virtues of His Omnipotency upon us, for whose service He made and created all these things:"
Amen to that.
