I love magic systems. I've got a few of them myself with varying degrees of development.
Thaumaturgy
Whether they like it or not esoteric phenomena are a part of daily life for the citizens of my world, thaumaturges are the scholars which study these phenomena and use their understanding...
For some reason I can't quite put my finger on coming up with creation myths is one of my favourite parts of world-building. Maybe it's because they're a fascinating insight into how a religion views the world around it, maybe it's because the creation of a world is one of the truest expressions...
Thaumaturge is the general term I use, with different terms for specialised users. Including:
Theurge; interacts directly with magical energy
Alchemist; uses chemicals and herbs to achieve magical effects
Artificer; constructs arcane devices

I assumed as much with the Biomes, I just wanted to be sure, 'cause there's different types of forest (Boreal, Temperate, Tropical, Rain, etc.) that could have been indicated by the greens but you seem to know your stuff when it comes to the climates so there's no problems there.
You wanted...
These are all very good. The maps are very well done and although I can't tell exactly which biome is being represented at each point on the map it does appear to be climatically sound to me. However, zooming in on the regional map some of the rivers strike me as a bit odd. It's not very likely...
