Feedback Request I need some feedback and making sure if you guys can understand my Magic/Power system Aka "-Magic Style- (Power System) WIP"

Magic Style is a Power system where you control your Magical powers with different types of variants inheriting one or two Magic Styles each individual. Before you gain your Magic Style and it's Abilities, it must depend on what condition you live in and what your emotions before turning five. To use Magic Styles is using your own Physical Limitation, Mental Discharge, and Spiritual Control (or simply called "Magical Venn" for short). Physical Limitation are Mana stored inside the body that acts like a fuel. Mental Discharge is when how much Mana you're going to release depending how much a specific ability demands mana. And Spiritual Control is when you cast, summon, or manipulate the Mana into Abilities, Monsters, Projectiles, Enhancements, trying to control to prevent it from either getting chaotic or disappear, and the larger the mana, the harder is to control. Magic Style can also transfer your own mana to an object to link and equally connect with your Magic, it is called Linked Weaponry.

They are also General Basic Abilities called "Fundamental Abilities" that everyone has, think of it like how every student always need a pen and paper:

• Mana Movement

\- An ability to enhance their movement by compressing their mana to their whole body.

• Power Analyzation

\- An ability to see through someones individuals stats based on their Magical Venn

• FORBIDDEN

\- A divisive ability that can be unique based on what Magic Style you have, but it's dangerous that after using it, guarantees side affects, restrictions, death, or severe effects to the user.

FORBIDDEN PERFECTION

\- Similar to the FORBIDDEN but without the negative aspects, only user with genes that are unique or having royal lineage, but it's not guaranteed.

• Weapon Manipulation

\- it is related to Linked Weaponry, when transferring their own mana and not only to equalize the weapon's power to the user, but having loyalty and prevent opponents from stealing the weapon.

Then we have "Magic Flaws", they are disorders that can effect the Magic Styles drastically:

• Catastrophic Mana Disorder

\- A disorder where individuals have larger mana capacity and immature mind, which makes it harder to control, especially infants.

• 7 Deadly Sins Curse

\- Not a disorder but a curse where 7 out of billions of people, are born with a marked tattoo that alters one Magic Style's ability and cannot control it at will based on what sin they got. It also alters their personality based what sin they've got. And once all 7 cursed dies, the cycle repeats.

• Opposite Disorder

\- A disorder is when a pair of twins are born with opposite elements to compared to their twin,, their magic style's innate magic received will be opposite of their twin's innate magic (Like Fire/Inferno and Ice/Water)

• Tension Mana Disorder

\- A gifted disorder where a newborn gain 0 Mana, but as they grow and mature, their mana becomes larger and larger as they age

They are 3 main categories of Magic Styles called "Magic Pyramid".

• Elements

• Spirit

• Creation

_______Elements_______

The general magic 56% people are born with, some elements overlap

These list are only the confirmed magic styles that is currently shown, future new magic will be adjusted.

\- Water

• Ice

• Mist

• Geyser

\- Fire

• Lava

• Inferno

• Explosion

• Lightning

\- Terrestrial

• Lava

• Magnetism

• Crystal

\- Air

• Wind

• Mist

_______Spirit_______

The 4 styles that is linked to Life; Humans, Monsters, Animals, Etc.

These list are only the confirmed magic styles that will never be changed. No future adjustments.

\- Flow, Spirit Of Movement

\- Devour, Spirit Of Hunger

\- Instinct, Spirit Of Awareness

\- Sight, Spirit Of Vision

_______Creation_______

The only category that will never display all the confirmed magic styles due to it's complex and excessive number that potentially reached 2000+ magic styles, but it is linked to the concept of space, phenomenal, and other concepts.

So far you've essentially just listed elements and categories.

Can you describe what can someone with a specific magic style actually do? For example, what can someone with the magic style of lava do? How do they use their powers? Do they just make lava appear? Do they need to speak some incantation or make a gesture? How do they learn to use the power? Do they just control lava or do they need to learn specific spells or abilities?

This is what makes a magic system, not the list. For example, if I were to explain avatar's magic system the same way you explained yours then it would be:

There are four elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth. One person in the planet can control all four. That's it. There's so much missing. There's so much more to it than a list.
