The different classes and sub-classes of magic in Otherworld.
Main Classes:
Assault: A form of magic specializing in spells that are meant to directly assault your opponent, usually spells of pure arcane energy that are directed into explosions or energy blasts. Does not include shielding or elemental magic, using this form of raw arcane energy drains mana fast and cannot be done with runes. This is very powerful magic, however, and can do much damage
Tactical: A form of magic specializing in magical wards and shields. This tends to include such things as city protection. This is also used for things such as magic-powered machines and traps. This is almost completely useless in regular fighting.
Elemental: A very basic form of magic that is usually done with runes. It does not drain mana quickly at all, this makes it a go to for most mages. It’s downside is that it is hard to do damage with it, as most people are familiar with this form of magic and can usually equip themselves accordingly.
Summoning: Another basic form of magic, but a bit more complicated. It has to do with the summoning of spirits from a different plane, or just summoning spirits of the dead in general. It is basically the classic “Fight for me while I go have a cup of tea” tactic. It is useless unless the person has a direct line to the plane he or she is contacting, however. Meaning any item from that plane can be used, but it has to have traces of that plane’s energy matter on it.
Arcane: One of the purest forms of Magic, it is known to druids as the “Magic of Balance,” as it incorporates a much weaker form of all types of magic. Its only true strong suit is that it has an energy that can be used for everyday tasks such as manipulating objects with the mind or increasing the physical prowess of the user.

Sub Classes:
Necromancy: A well-known subclass of summoning, the ability to bring forth the dead from the earth you walk on. This is useless in areas where no one has died, and is completely useless offensively or defensively without any undead having been summoned. A novice necromancer (Starting point), can only summon 5 skeletons at the height of their power, 3 zombies, and 1 of anything between a zombie and a horse in size. An apprentice (3 weeks from novice irl) necromancer can summon 10 skeletons, 5 zombies, 2 things smaller than a horse, and 1 of anything between a horse and an elephant. An adept (4 weeks from apprentice irl) necromancer can summon 20 skeletons, 10 zombies, 2 smaller-than-horse undead, 2 between-horse-and-elephants, and 1 Titan (Bigger than an elephant). A master necromancer (1 month from adept irl) can summon 40 skeletons, 20 zombies, 5 horse-sized, 4 elephant-sized, and 2 titans.
Telekinetic: A subclass of Arcane magic, it is the ability to manipulate objects with the mind. Some mages focus only on this as a form of “enlightenment” or just a way to obtain power. When this sub-class is focused on, it allows the user to move people and larger objects, not just small objects such as is included in Arcane. This stacks with Arcane magic and an Arcane magic user will be more powerful in this than a user of a different magic. It is able to be canceled out by a lack of concentration. The more powerful the user, the more it takes to break their concentration.
Spirit Calling: A sub-class of Necromancy, normally used by the Guardians. This branch focuses mainly on aiding spirits, as well as asking them for help. Though the spirits are rarely able to do physical harm, they can affect elements. All depends on the Spirit Summoned. This branch takes a certain trial to master, in which you can either become a full-fleged Spirit Caller, or an Exiled one. Exiled ones are normally sentenced to life time imprisonments, or death. Callers comunicate with the
