for example, potentia, and Ignis makes an explosive fireball like projectile. whie raw Ignis makes a weak fan of flames shoot out the staff.
Well, what I have are five basic elements, some of which stemmed from the Monado's Arts. There's Heal, Damage, Counter, Construct, and Remove-slash-Destruct. Some of the combinations are what you'd expect, but some are completely unexpected, like the result of combining Construct and Destruct. All three are based off manipulating reality to small degrees, which I can do actively given time and focus.
Oh my god, I just realized we're such nerds... Talking about magic and how it works. Couldn't possibly get nerdier.
// we are THE nerds.
The Primal System is, again, similar. it has Fire which is Ignis, Aer is air, Aqua is water, Terra is ground/earth, Ordo is order/stability/continuity/control etc., Perditio which is Entropy/destruction/loss/random. the last two are kind the odd ones out, as they aren't really a physical aspect, but they are more used to specify and modify things.
