How do wizards learn spells in magic?
And before some jackass says 'by drawing them from their deck', I'm talking about in the imaginary world (books, comic books, etc). I have been playing this game for a decade, but I honestly don't know how the whole process works within the overarching stories.
Are they written down on scrolls and memorized, like in some video games and RPGs? Are they just 'known' by people who can use mana? Can only planeswalkers do it? I honestly have no idea.

Do not expect to find a good answer for your question in the first book you pick. As flatmatt said, there is no fleshed out concept, but authors have the liberty to make up an explanation on their own, and they seldomly go to detail about these things that much. That said, I am sure a storyline guru who has read ALL the books can recall a certain passage where an author felt the need to explain it. From how I understand it, mages have to learn how to channel their magical powers. A child gifted with such powers may be able to crush all dishes in the kitchen as a result of its overwhelming anger, but only a trained mage is able to burst a single cup at will.
