I'm experimenying with a system where there are four circles of magic, each containing four elements. Two elements per circle overlap with another circle, and two elements are unique to a circle. Here's what I have so far:
The circle of prime elements:
-fire (overlaps with energy)
-water
-air
-earth (overlaps with matter)
The circle of energy:
-fire (overlaps with prime elements)
-ice
-light/electricity
-force (overlaps with ?)
The circle of matter:
-earth (overlaps with prime elements)
-metal
-wood
-artifice (overlaps with ?)
The circle of ? (haven't come up with a suitable name - it's sort of science-fcition type magic):
-force (overlaps with energy)
-time/dimension
-words (symbols, power words, etc.)
-artifice (overlaps with matter)
(Conjuring, Enchantment, Illusions and Necromancy are explicitly left out of this system.)
It works quite well, but there are a few problem areas. Sonic, for example, doesn't really fit into words, force or air.
