I call it Thaumatics, or just Thauma, its kinda based on Nen but I wanted it to be different enough, the basics of the system are as follows:

Thauma exists everywhere as a particle, but especially around living beings. It's in everything but more dense in people, animals, and plants.

There are 3 methods of casting spells with Thauma

Somatic Casting (hand signs or movement in general)

Verbal Casting (incantations or in some cases just a noise)

Written Casting (glyphs or sigils)

And there are 3 types of spells you can cast

Alchemical (effecting inorganic material)

Noetic (effecting minds or energy)

Vital (effecting organic material)

There is a triangle in which casting a specific type of Thauma is inefficient with a specific casting type

Somatic is good for Alchemical and Vital but bad for Noetics

Verbal is good for Alchemical and Noetics but bad for Vital

Written is good for Noetics and Vital but bad for Alchemical

You can use any casting type for any thauma type, but most who specialize in one casting type tend to not use the inefficient thauma.

Anyone can create their own spells and there are common spells people learn, but more complex spells with conditions tend only be used by their creator.

My example of a Thaumaturge with a specific spell is a character with the spell 'The Pristine Cut' (shout out to the Slay the Princess fans out there).

The spell is Somatic and has an Alchemical, a Vital, and a small Noetic effect. The person has a knife in a sheath on their belt. When they unsheath the knife, they target a specific area where a Noetic glowing red line appears. When they resheath the knife, the targeted area gets cut along the line, both organic and inorganic material are effected by this. The conditions are that the spell wouldnt work if the blade is damaged and the cut becomes stronger the longer the blade is out of the sheath.

Let me know if this system makes sense and if theres anything I should change about this. I'll try to answer questions the best that I can.
