Schools

Schools are a categorization of Magic, describing the magic being learned, taught, or cast. There are many Schools of Magic in the Realms, and not all are known. Those that are known, are split into three categories, as below.

Common
True to their collective name, Common Magics are most often referred to by their common names, listed below in Parentheses. They are typically controlled via Spells.

Aeromancy (Air Magic)

Bestiamancy (Beast Magic)

Umbramancy (Dark Magic)

Terramancy (Earth Magic)

Pyromancy (Fire Magic)

Luminomancy (Light Magic)

Metallomancy (Metal Magic)

Hydromancy (Water Magic)

Phytomancy (Wood Magic)

Esoteric
Also true to their collective name, Esoteric Magics are typically referred to by their full names, though they also have common names for descriptive purposes.

Esoteric magic ranges from uncommon to exceedingly rare, as are their leylines. They are typically controlled via Ritual Magic, which is not exactly a school in and of itself, but is treated as one for the purpose of Skills.

Animancy (Soul)

Astramancy (Stars)

Cogitomancy (Mind)

Coitomancy (Sex)

Necromancy (Death)

Oneiromancy (Dream)

Sanguimancy (Blood)

Vivimancy (Life)

Arcane
Little is known of Arcane magic, aside from its extreme power and rarity.
