Overview

There has been a lot of debate as to how to categorize magic, with some scholars claiming anywhere between 7, 8, 10, 12 or even 31 fonic elements, and 5 to 7 schools of fonym. For the sake of completion, we will be talking about fonym with the assumption that there are 12 elements and 7 schools. This will make it easy to tie the relationship of fonym to the art of music, thus also explaining the power of song and dance-based fonym. So to start with...

Schools of Fonym
Alteration (Lydian) - Fonym that alters forms, materials and elemental affinities.
Restoration (Ionian) - Fonym that mends wounds, and purges curses and negative status effects.
Subterfuge (Mixolydian) - Fonym that plays tricks on an opponent, and compels them.
Protection (Dorian) - Fonym that protects the user and its allies from harm.
Conjuration (Aeolian) - Fonym that is used in teleportation, summoning and necromancy.
Destruction (Phrygian) - Fonym used for attacking foes, and causing destruction.
Divination (Locrian) - Fonym that reveals info on an enemy and cancels out or guarantees misfortune.

Elements of Fonym
C - Heat
C#/Db - Aqueous
D - Wind
D#/Eb - Spatial
E/Fb - Shadow
F - Nature
F#/Gb - Frost
G - Lightning
G#/Ab - Earth
A - Temporal
A#/Bb - Light
B - Lunar
