YES Capes. YES Masks. YES Secret Identities.
Way back in the day - I believe it was after the Justice League Grey Man story, there was meant to be a DC Event that involved a war between The Lords of Order and Lords of Chaos, never happened unfortunately. If done today, it would be a good way to bring back Kent and Inza Nelson as Dr Fate or Fates
That seems pretty much an artifact of the Post-Crisis Dick Giordano era of DC. DC seems to have pretty much abadoned the Lords of Chaos/Order concept by the 2000s when Didio had them all killed offpanel for Days of Vengeance Infinite Crisis. Much like the metagene, they are both concepts which were later resurrected in the Young Justice show, which was helmed by a former assistant editor from that era.
My personal head canon for "Witch's Ghost" is that, since Scooby Doo takes place in the DC universe, the events in Witch's Ghost make the most sense if it's a conflict fueled by the Lords of Chaos and Order. Who the heck are these guys and why do they have power?
Thorn(Sally McKnight)... doesn't have any real powers. She might have a tiny ability to wield magic, but very minor. Just enough to use the book to seal Sarah. Normal people CAN'T use magic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_CaXjx4VvM
The in-universe explanation for Sarah Ravencroft having powers is.... basically just "for teh evulz". Most of the time in the movie spent explaining back story... we get lore dumped by a guy named Ben Ravencroft... who is Sarah's descendant and wannabe acolyte. Sarah... doesn't even care. She's seemingly just a conduit for dark forces at this point... like genuine supernatural evil.
Doesn't make sense on it's own, but if you see it as a clash between Lords of Chaos and Lords of Order.... then the book is just a weapon created by the Lords of Order, and Sarah a dark disciple of the Lords of Chaos.
