This is my first forum post so please forgive me if this is all over the place.
I’ve created a magic system based around the 3 types of learning (VAK -Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Learning). For those who don’t know about VAK Learning, it’s a theory saying we are natural learner in one of the three ways.
Visual- learning by images, graphs, charts
Auditory- learning by listening, and speaking
Kinesthetic- learning by hands on activities
Without getting too heavy into the lore, most humans are born with magic. There are 3 components to using this magic; Mind (visual), Spirit (auditory), and Body (kinesthetic). Some spells require more spiritual energy than body/spirit, some require more body than spirit/mind, ect.
For example if you wanted to create a copy of your body you’d have to use around 50% Mind (to create a clean copy of your own body) 30% Body (to bring the visual into physical form) and 20% Spirit (to bind the spell and make it strong. [keep in mind this is only a quick example.
Getting to my point, I wanted to divide the types of magicians into 3 categories based on what type of learning they are strongest in. So say if you’re a Visual magician you’ll be able to cast illusion spells, possible have visions of the future, image projecting. And if being visual you might be a little weaker in the spiritual department so those spells won’t be as long.
Am I making these categories too broad to the point where it’ll be too hard to place certain people/spells underneath?
Would it be better to only use VAK as an organizer to what type of spells can be done?
If you need to ask any questions about the world/magic system to understand me better. Feel free to ask.
