Name for group of magic types?
I thought of this system like an hour ago, not even sure how I'm gonna use it, maybe it's literally just for the fun of it.
There's twelve schools of magic, split into two groups of six, but I can't come up with a good name for the second group.
First up are the six Elemental schools:
Air, Earth, Fire, Lightning, Plants, Water
Simple name, they mix the classic elements of Greece and China, then throw electricity in there. Things like metal and ice are subtypes.
The second set however is a bit more abstract, and while their names are pairs of opposites, I lack a name to group all six together. They are:
- Life (healing)
- Death (necromancy, communing with the dead, exorcism)
- Light (illusions, specifically in the actual world, not tricking the mind)
- Shadow (summoning temporary copies, but maybe also teleportation)
- Body (enhancing or reducing physical attributes, mutation)
- Mind (reading thoughts and manipulating)
At first I thought about calling them the six Fundamentals, but I think I want to reserve that name for a group of extra special magic(Time, Gravity,...).
I can't just call them "The Other Ones" or "The Non-Elemental", but I also don't wanna call them something like "Advanced", since Elemental isn't meant as basic or beginner.
Appreciate any help
EDIT: Thanks everyone, there were some good suggestions, but Mystical from Silenced0124 really hit what I was looking for.
