Alright, there is two types of magic in my world. True Magic and New Magic.
True Magic is the magic of the universe, and involves the forces of Time, Space, Physics etc..
New Magic is the magic that has been created by humans. It controls individual elements (and sub elements), such as: Lightning/Fulmo, Water/Akvo, Earth/Tero. New Magic can also control lesser forces, such as: Shadow/Ombro, Light/Lumo, Death/Morto.
(New Magic is spoken and used in the language Esperanto, for both of them are artificial in nature.)

True Magic is more powerful (obviously), and it's Mages are few and far between. Registered wizards of this magic are numbered about thirty in the entire world.
New Magic while less powerful, is used by more people. Millions of people can implement this magic, and magical guilds and organizations have sprung up all over the globe.

Most mages can only use a couple limited spells. More proficient wizards can use an entire element/force or multiple ones.
These are the more popular magic used (by normal people):
-Personal Magic: A magic that only affects the user. (Cosmetic changes mostly)
-Warding Magic: Protection magic which guards an object. (Living objects cannot be recipient)
(More in this category later)

Any dangerous magic is classified into the colors of the rainbow. (Technically, other magic is classified into colors too, but to keep it simple.)
Red- Incredibly Dangerous
Orange- Very Dangerous
Yellow- Caution
Green-Little Risk
Blue-Almost None
Indigo- Teensy Weensy
Violet- None
(More later, cause I got to get off)

my book is mostly focused on the effect religion can have when it's directly involved in governmental decisions, BUT
my princess love interest secretly learns how to do fortune telling on beauty spots and other body markings, kinda like palm reading but not on the palm. and it's hypothetically just a superstition for commoners, but if done properly it turns out weirdly accurate.
there's stuff like, if there's three moles in a triangle or clustered together, that person has a lot of luck; a mole on the wrist means they're very good at matters of the heart, etc.
