words for magic

[Ry]

For a game I'm designing, there's 6 kinds of magic:

Alchemancy (Changing substances into other substances)
Instatiation (Creating stuff out of nowhere)
Sentiation (Seeing / hearing things you couldn't normally see / hear)
Telekinesis
Telepathy
Teleportation

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for more "magic"-sounding words for any of them (although I'm pretty happy with Alchemancy).

Alchemancy - Polymancy, Transformancy
Instatiation - Conjuration, Manifestation
Sentiation - Clairsentience, Divination, Oracle, Prophesy
Telekinesis - Translocation, Transportationism (maybe not)
Telepathy - Sympathy, Mentalism, Ethermancy, Thinkamancy (sorry, couldn't resist)
Teleportation - Translocation, Spacialization, Rematerialization

Mentalism ain't bad. Divination is probably a good call (although I don't like the connotations of reading entrails).

 

[Set]

Random thoughts;

Alchemancy (Changing substances into other substances)
Transformation, Transubstantiation, Transfiguration, Transmutation, the Changeling Art

Instatiation (Creating stuff out of nowhere)
Conjuration, Evocation, Apportation, Manifestation, the Art of Creation

Sentiation (Seeing / hearing things you couldn't normally see / hear)
Clairvoyance, Visualization, Transperception, the Sight

Telekinesis
Manipulation

Telepathy
Empathy, Connecting, Conspiring

Teleportation
Conjuration, Traveling

Creation - Heart of the Gods - Cor Deus
Movement - Winged Feet of the Gods - Pennipes Deus
Manipulate - Hands of the Gods - Manus Deus
Sense - Eyes of the Gods - Oculus Deus
Thought - Mind of the Gods - Anima Deus
Transmutation - Skin of the Gods - Cutis Deus

I also like Jack's suggestions of Translocation and Sympathy.

I came REALLY close to pointing you to the Erfworld online comic, but caught myself.

Divination - Vaticism
Telekinesis - Arcanoportation or Theurportation
Transmutation - Eldritch Morphism

 

[Ry]

Divination - Vaticism
Telekinesis - Arcanoportation or Theurportation
Transmutation - Eldritch Morphism

Why Vaticism? I've never heard that one / its root word before.

 

[Ry]

Those simple names that Set came up with sound really good too, especially using them in-game. I think I'll use their "scientific" names on the character sheet.

Why Vaticism? I've never heard that one / its root word before.

Here's the definition for vatic.

There's a feat in PHB II (IIRC) called Vatic Gaze, which allows a spellcaster to use detect magic at will.

 

[Ry]

Alchemancy and Vaticism are now in the "Don't touch pile."

I'm thinking Invocation for Instantiation.

The other three are tough nuts to crack.

Thaumaturgy would work well for creation magic. It means "miracle working".
