Eidolons based Magic System
So i’m developing a magic system where the primary focus and source of power are "Eidolons"—mystical creatures that bond with individuals to grant them abilities. I’ve already worked out the magic's origin and specific mechanics, but I’m facing a dilemma: I can't decide whether to make the system more "individual-focused"—where an Eidolon grants its partner access to just one of the seven Domains—or to make it more open, allowing for Eidolons that can bestow multiple Domains.
Domains are gateways that Eidolons open for their users, allowing them to alter reality in various ways. Each Domain is based on one of the seven Drovars. The drawing I created represents these gods within their world—deities whom people revere, regarding them as the source not only of the Eidolons but of everything they embody.

Transmutation, Domain of Digen: Mastery over Destruction and Creation. Since nothing is truly created or destroyed in any process, this domain operates as follows: any transformation resulting from its use naturally generates the opposite effect—to a lesser degree, yet always proportionally. There is no creation without some measure of destruction, and vice versa. Examples of this domain include the transformation of matter, the creation of any kind of solid pillars, the disintegration of elements, etc.
Transfusion, Domain of Disun: The Domain of Death and Life. Used to forge contracts with clauses that entail catastrophic consequences. This Domain allows you to transfer the Connection of something elsewhere; this ranges from sharing the pain of a wound or splitting the damage from certain attacks, to severing the connection between individuals and concepts. It can be used to cut someone’s Silver Thread—killing them instantly—but it can also be used to repair the thread using a portion of your own, thereby reviving the person. Examples of this Domain include: stealing Recidumbric abilities, sharing the effects of a curse, creating curses, necromancy, stealing memories, etc.
Resonance, Domain of Comuni: The Domain of Connection and Communion. This is one of my favorite Domains; like Transfusion, it works directly with both Weak and Strong Spiritual Forces, but in this case, nothing is lost. Nor is anything gained in the strict sense; the right word would be "Summation." This Domain allows you to form relationships with various beings that create something new—something that goes beyond what could have been achieved individually. My hypothesis is that the Drovars were formed based on this very principle. Examples of this include fusions between beings, connections with spirits that grant magical abilities or enhance your qualities, combining Domains to create more complex spells, the accelerated growth and control of plants, healing magic, etc.
Eurythmy, Domain of Causco: Mastery of Time and Rhythm. It allows you to alter the flow of time for individuals or within a specific location in Eteris; there is little else to add—it is a highly versatile yet dangerous ability if not used cautiously. O.C.T.A.V.O. has already flagged me because of this Domain. I should clarify that it also allows for the placement of temporal stasis points and rhythmic patterns in various locations. It can be used to set a specific activation time for a mechanism, synchronize processes with weather events, and so on. Examples of this Domain include: time bubbles, slowing down people or processes, spells with a set activation time, and the reversal of causality.
Correspondence, Domain of Semca: Mastery over the reflection cast by things—including "shadows"—and over Destiny. It allows one to alter the shape of the universe, enabling the manipulation of space and even the creation of one's own branes. I have discovered that, within the reflections themselves, there exists a separate space that is symmetrical to the object being reflected. It appears far easier to alter the shape of this space than in the normal world, though returning to the original realm requires passing through another reflective surface on the other side. If not used carefully, one risks becoming trapped there. It also grants the ability to glimpse the potential future of various events. Examples of this Mastery: portal creation, levitation, matter deformation, palmistry, and telekinesis.
Abstraction, Domain of Vise: The Domain of Dreams and Illusions. This is the most abstract Domain of all (hence the name), as it allows you not only to create both mental and physical illusions but also to alter the properties of an entire location or even a person. In a sense, you "trick" reality into behaving as you dream it to be; the environment adapts to the beings within it, rather than the other way around. It allows for the precise alteration of a being's psyche, enabling you to instill specific emotions or sensations and even induce sleep. From what I have gathered, this Domain allows you to remove both the Veil and the Aether from the equation, giving way to a reality that behaves much like the Reverie. It is as if you were bringing your dreams to life. Examples of this Domain include: the ability to alter a location's entropy, illusions of all kinds, the momentary alteration of physical laws, and emotional manipulation.
Irradiation, Domain of Genvi: Mastery of Energy and Change. This allows you not only to control, generate, and alter any type of energy—transforming one form into another—but also to alter the state of matter. The latter is largely a consequence of the former, as this Domain encompasses all Fundamental Forces intrinsically linked to matter. The Composer can deflect an object's vector, absorb its potential energy, or even reverse its direction. Examples of this Mastery include controlling electromagnetic fields, generating light and plasma, and reversing a person's acceleration (causing them to fall upwards).
"Also, if you can guess from the pictures wich Drovar is wich i would also like to hear it because it would mean how good or bad is the representation."
