When using magic on Paper 1.20.4 all lores are italic by default and there is no way to turn it off.

That is how Minecraft shows item lore. It's generally purple and italic unless specified otherwise.

Unless I'm mis-remembering? I believe this change was made a long while back, like around 1.16

So I think we'd need some global prefix that wand/spell lore uses if you wanted to un-italicize it.

Well the lores are the right color they are just always italic.

you can fix them by putting &r infront of the name first
It resets all colour/makeup codes

Tried it, doesnt work

That was going to be my suggestion, too. Can you please share the config that's not working?
