You don't have to use them, but they're fun and offhand I can't think of any game that has spells like the powers Corvo gets access to. He doesn't shoot anyone with fireballs or lightning bolts, in other words.
But as others have said, it's not only possible to play the game without supernatural powers, there is an achievement for doing so.
