Suffice to say that if you as DM feel like you need some sort of justification for magic outside of the PHB, come up with one, and if you don't, don't. (At any rate such magic must necessarily exist, given magical capabilities in the MM and magic items in the DMG, much less later books.)
If not having some kind of justification bothers any number of your players, either accommodate them or don't, and if you don't, they either live with it or leave.
All well and good.
