Well, there's a lot of different uses for magic- it's part of our very beings, as fundamental to us as biology is to you. When it comes to broader categories, they're usually classified by color.
Our most basic abilities all come in white. If you see magic in another color, then they're using something more advanced. More advanced magic comes in seven different types, each with its own associated color.
Bullets, specifically, are a very basic form of magic that all monsters can do. They're white in their usual form, unless you're also using another type of magic along with them, and come in a shape that reflects the nature of the person casting them.
[By way of demonstration, she briefly holds one hand up, summoning one bullet on her open palm. She doesn't send it forward, merely leaves the ghostly-looking white spider there for a moment before she closes her hand and lets it vanish.]
All magic is linked to emotion in various ways, to how one feels. That's part of why bullet patterns are unique to different people. Because a bullet is essentially just casting your emotions out in the form of energy, it can be used either to communicate your feelings and intentions or, if your intent is hostile, to attack.

Unfortunately, since human beings aren't magical by nature and therefore can't absorb energy the same way we do, even a bullet pattern with no hostile intent behind it will still harm them.
