So I'm struggling with what to call different "kinds" of magic in my WIP. I always have to describe them more with whole sentences than terms or words, and that gets exhausting after a while.
They're pretty much divided into two different "schools" of magic, one that has to do with nature and one that has to do with manipulation of self or others.
In the "school of nature," there's plant (NOT earth, plants only), water, and air/wind. In the other school of magic, there's mind-related powers, emotion ones (like empathy), and physical/matter powers (superstrength, tactile telekinesis, etc).
I would like the line between them to be defined in terminology. Like using -mancy as a suffix for the nature magic and -kinesis for the others. I'm not sure what the prefixes should be, though, especially for the non-nature ones.
Does anyone have suggestions for this? Thanks in advance!
