Here are the traditional spell schools. They can divide the spells up according to the classes, something like:
Conjuration (Multiverse, Planes, Summoning): Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock
Divination (Space-Time, Teleportation): Bard, Cleric, Druid
Enchantment: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock
Evocation (Air, Fire, Water): Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
Illusion (Ether, Force): Bard, Warlock, Wizard
Necromancy (Death, Shadow): Cleric, Warlock, Wizard
Transmutation (Earth, Plant, Animal): Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
Note, Abjuration is a weird school that overlaps all of the other schools, so it is missing from the list above, but the Bard and Cleric have its spells. Abjuration is the protective applications of magic. If there is a new school that is the opposite of Abjuration that is more about inflicting more harm, then Warlock and Sorcerer would have it.
For a Psion concept with "non flashy" magic, the Bard and Psion seem to share the same schools. This commonality suggests the Bard and Psion could share the same Source spell list.
In the above arrangement, certain iconic spells like Magic Missile and Mage Armor would reclassify as Illusion spells, in the sense of ethereal quasi-real Force effects. Thus the Wizard would gain these spells as part of the Illusion school.
