In my magic system, everyone has an energy called Somnia running through them, it is basically like what mana would be in other magic systems. It runs on one’s drives, fears, hopes, dreams, and everything of the like, and this connects them to their element. They do not necessarily control the element itself, but rather connect with the concentrated energy within, such energies may change as well depending on its state of matter, hence why others can only control water or ice.
In the case of my world, those who can control such are called Somni and have aligned their Somnia with a certain path (the element and what it represents), they are given artifacts called Curios in their sleep, which connect them with the energies of their path, and grants them the ability to control such. To add (this ties in with the worldbuilding and as to why the magic system is more-so-called Somnia), Somni connect with an Animus, which are the extinct beings made of the pure energy of Somnia driven away by humanity in the distant past, and as a last effort to preserve themselves they latched onto humans to one day return through the Curios (which they connected to by slumber), and the Monarch Animus (the first beings who manifested into the world), preserved themselves in dreamcatchers all throughout the world; the Animus did these to one day return, as they have cast a curse called Insomnia, which corrupts man and would eventually turn them into what would be the forms of the Animus, and once all have been turned, the Animus would return to the physical realm.
They cast such through forming magic circles (but in the forms of dreamcatchers), and by connecting with a chakra they align most with as well, which determines the type of magic they do. They can use the elements in any way they please, so long as it connects to their chakra, and it gives way for the elements that would be weak on paper to be much more powerful than imaginable.

Root Chakra (Muladhara): Conjuration: The root chakra grounds us to the physical world, just as conjuration magic calls forth entities and objects from other planes into the material realm.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Enchantment: This chakra governs creativity, emotions, and desires, much like how enchantment magic influences and manipulates emotions, thoughts, and behavior.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Evocation: The solar plexus chakra represents personal power and will. Evocation magic involves harnessing raw magical energy to create powerful effects, reflecting this sense of personal empowerment.
Heart Chakra (Anahata): Abjuration: The heart chakra is associated with love, compassion, and healing. Abjuration magic focuses on protection, shielding, and dispelling, reflecting the protective and nurturing qualities of the heart.
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Transmutation: The throat chakra governs communication and expression. Transmutation magic involves altering the form or nature of things, which can be seen as a form of creative expression.
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Divination: The third eye chakra is associated with intuition, perception, and insight. Divination magic involves gaining knowledge of the future or hidden truths through supernatural means, aligning with the insights associated with the third eye.
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Aneicromancy - The crown chakra represents spirituality, enlightenment, and connection to the divine. Aneicromancy, symbolizing a balance between life (ani) and death (necro), could explore the interconnectedness of all things, including the realms of existence beyond the physical plane. It may signify a pursuit of harmony and understanding between the forces of life and death, guiding practitioners toward enlightenment and spiritual fulfillment.
Earth Star Chakra: Illusion: The earth star chakra connects us to the physical world and grounding energies. Illusion magic involves the manipulation of perception and reality, which can be seen as a reflection of our connection to and interaction with the physical world.
Soul Star Chakra: Chronomancy: The soul star chakra is believed to be the gateway to higher consciousness and spiritual evolution. Chronomancy, focusing on time manipulation and understanding the fabric of reality, aligns with the idea of exploring higher states of consciousness and existence.
