Device Magic: Magic performed with some form of mystical device or relic.See also Minovsky Physics, Mana, Magic A Is Magic A.
Magic which waxes and wanes according to how close the manipulator is to a " Ley Line" falls into this category. Often invokes a Background Magic Field and/or a Sentient Cosmic Force. Force Magic: Practitioners of magic tap into and control or weave together one or more magical forces.Differs from other Rule Magics in that it often employs only the magic inherent in the materials used, rather than magic from the "caster" depending on the setting, practitioners of alchemy may or may not have (or be required to have) magical ability of their own. Effectively a variety of Rule Magic, but it is limited to creating magical substances rather than the direct application of power/energy by force of will. Particularly modern and more offense-oriented versions may use literal Power Of Rock. As one might guess, it is rarely used outright offensively, tending instead to focus on healing friends and befuddling or beguiling enemies. Used in settings where bards have magical abilities. Magic Music: Music has magical effects.(This form tends to be favored by Fantastic Scientists and other scholarly mages.) (This type is a common feature of the Advanced Ancient Acropolis.) Another flavor uses complex arcane equations as a superior replacement for the antiquated Language of Magic to focus and channel the mystical energies. One example of this variety of rule magic takes the form of Geometric Magic based on systems of complex figures, or matrices of Instant Runes, connected by Tron Lines implied to function somewhat like a circuit board. Rule magic can sometimes be Sufficiently Analyzed to the point that a standardized system of Formulaic Magic is developed to allow precision construction of complex spells akin to computer programs. This form is heavily dependent on The Laws of Magic or the author's own custom-made limitations. This is, however, usually just one rule in a larger system. This variety is where you find things like the "Law of Contagion" - that is, if you have a piece of the target, you can affect it from afar since it's still part of a "whole", even if it's miles or kilometers distant. Vancian Magic is a completely fictional example. Real-world examples include Wicca, Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Onmyōdō.
