There are 9 different types of Magic Power.
Correspondence: The magic of Communication and Transportation
Entropy: The magic of Fate and Death
Forces: The magic of fireballs, lightning strikes, and freeze rays
Life: The magic of healing or Biological construct
Matter: The magic of matter and manipulating it.
Mind: The magic of Enthrallment, Empathy, and Mental Organization
Prime: The magic of magic, making magic permanent, affecting people's magical circuits
Spirit: The magic of the Soul, and manipulating the unseen supernatural worlds of ghosts and ethers
Time: The magic of Time, and Time Manipulation
Each type has a measured level of power from 1 to 5. Note that from Level 2 onward, every example listed on the list are merely suggestions; if you have the required level for one type of Magic, then you can do every sort of spell equivalent to the examples listed. For example, Level 2 Correspondence allows not just messaging and warding, but also scrying; any Mage that can do one of those things can do all of them and equivalent miracles.
Level 1 is sensory; you can see magic of the type you select, as well as see the hidden secrets of the Universe.
Correspondence: You can detect portals, teleporting people, and attempts to spy on you with Magic. You also have a perfect sense of direction.
Entropy: You can see Ghosts, magically sense dead bodies and decaying objects even when they are hidden from you, and abnormalities in luck/fate.
Forces: You can see outside the range of visible light (infrared, ultraviolet, etc) hear sounds outside the normal hearing range, and see magic spells that affect those things.
Life: You can sense living beings and organic matter and instantly diagnose any form of disease.
Matter: You can see the composition of inorganic matter, as well as small details in craftsmanship; you can instantly know if a bill is counterfeit.
Mind: You can sense the minds of Humans and Animals, and detect Mind Control.
Prime: See all Magic, but not know what type a certain spell belongs to.
Spirit: See nature spirits and other dimensions (Hyperspace).
Time: See people stopping or speeding up time. You also know what time it is even without seeing the sun or having a watch.
Level 2, is where you can do the little power stuff. You can affect things in small ways:
Correspondence: Send messages that cannot be intercepted, or cast a mystic ward, stopping incoming teleporters or preventing magical eavesdropping.
Entropy: Affect probability in small instances (like dice rolls), Break simple machines, predict future, talk with Ghosts.
Forces: Featherfall, Ball Lightning; Control existing Sound, Light (including Radiation), Heat, and Kinetic Energy. Cast holographic illusions (as opposed to mental).
Life: Heal yourself (Just yourself, not others), control insects, fungi, and plants.
Matter: Make an excellent counterfeit bill, transmute lead to gold.
Mind: Give someone a mental compulsion, cast mental illusions (as opposed to holographic ones).
Prime: Create Magitech, Set magical patterns, enchant a weapon to do damage unhealable by magic.
Spirit: Commune with Nature Spirits.
Time: Get a prediction of the future (not perfect), see events in the past (this, however, is unless counteracted with magic).
Note: As said, the examples listed above are just suggestions; if something falls under [Insert Sphere Here], isn't listed, and is equivalent to this level, feel free to have that spell as well.
