Plan? What plan? Instead I shall talk about a magic system for an au I'll likely never write.
So basically, magic school bfdi au, sorry if I'm starving y'all of any other fandom.
I made a magic system (ish) before I made a name!
Instead of houses, the students are sorted into magic classes (like in dnd, not like in school). Wizards, Witches, Warlocks, Sorcerers and Artificers.
Wizards: Book mages. They are often not born with magical ability and learn magic from scratch. Wizards often come from wizarding families or have magicy friends, else it would be hard for them to find out of magic's existence. They are very common. Their magic is often the most controlled, VERY rarely getting the better of the mage.
Witches: Nature or Wild mages. Witches harness the image magic of their natural environment or of the everpresent chaos magic. Witches are sometimes born with a connection or sometimes learn like wizards. Witches are also very common. Magic can sometimes slip out of control, but not often.
Warlocks: Pact mages. Warlocks get their magic from another being, be it a deity, demon or familiar. Magical girls fall into this class. Warlocks are less common than the previous two classes.
Sorcerers: Wild cards. Sorcerers are most often born with magic within them and rarely acquire it through other means. They are pretty rare and can sometimes have hidden abilities, making them difficult to find. Sorcerer magic is often difficult to control or outright dangerous. There could be more to say, but sorcery is often unique to the sorcerer.
Artificers: Mad scientists. Artificers are debated among mages as to whether or not they should count as a true magic class. They mix magic and science, create warforged and homunculi and work in alchemy and potions more than any other class. Artificers attempt to understand magic when it is by definition derstandable. Artificers are very rare and since they are not born with magic and are rather similar to wizards, their magic is stable in its... own way. Sometimes accidents happen.
Innate mages (those born with magic) and warlocks may also have specialities or quirks. These come naturally to the mage, even sometimes unintentionally. They can range from practically useless to devastatingly powerful and are unique to the mage.
If you're bothered to have any questions, ask! :3
Also I made a name in the time it took me to write that, ty for listening to my Ted talk
