But something like being special but not losing his humanity it's something interesting to think about.

Any suggest? The "luck magic" would sound funny. Not something you can really control (so Stiles wouldn't be overpowered), it isn't far fetched (he was possessed by a trickster magical being) and while not completely reliable, it could be useful and Stiles would still be the not-so-muggle savvy funny friend. The only problem with "luck magics" is that, well, it's very easy to cross the line and get a boring overpowered unfunny character.

Well, they've already alluded to a sort of belief based magic on Stiles' part (s2e8) that I think would be a perfect thing to expand upon if they wanted to go a magical route. I agree we don't want him to be too powerful. But whatever he is he would be a beginner, and beginners are never too great at anything, it would be easy to stretch a learning curve for a long time in magic based things.
