List everything here. Literally everything, but try not to separate into tiny subcategories

Dance, music, visual art, writing, alchemy, demonic, elements, light, dark, Thought, soulmate, spirit, myth

Pretty sure its all of those

But like, what is a mage with these powers called?

Im still working on names for most of them

Same, which is why I opened with thread.
I have, for music, Siren and Aria, with Siren been the more powerful type
For, like, this thing where you move things with invisible strands of energy, Wielder
People who can convince other people to do something by talking, Orator
And that's all more interesting ones

That sounds awesome!

The procedure for coming up with these isn't very reliable, however
I lie in bed playing on my phone til something pop up

Thats how i figured out my magic types

LOL same
It's just sometimes (read: all the f*cking time) my brain decides to come up with food ideas instead

also true

It's also quite distracting when it's raining

Animus (enchantment) and Bending (Elemental and whatever creative subcategory the user creates).

You…have good names

I literally stole them from other series. I'm trying to find better names for them so that the creators won't come after me later on.

Use my beautiful idea of lying in bed and waiting for i to pop up :)

What about
Spirit: Pneumancer (pneuma meaning spirit, soul, or force of a person)
Demonic: Diabolist, or Maledict (comes from Latin meaning evil)
Darkness: Umbrus

Awesome

Music.
That’s it.
Music is Magic.

Similar things

What if your type of magic was based on your occupation? Or the occupation you would one day have? Like a horse rider could have archery magic or be able to commune with horses? A blacksmith could have some sort of ability with metal, or a specific type of stone or fire depending on skill and such? But how would this be determined? By parents? Or just like trying out things until you find something you are actually good at? And then would everyone have magic? Or just a select few? Any ideas for this?

Everyone has some sort of magic ability from birth, and that's it. It can be pretty much anything, though, from psychic powers to breathing fire. Usually determined by genetics, but that's not always the case.

Ok, thank you

I have a few with common names, but uncommon rules? If u wanna see them lmk cause it's a bit of a longer read than anything else on here

Most ppl got magical powers and fall into three cats, they're called sorcerers.
Witch - Fenwa
Priestess - Padona
Elementist- Seván
