Theory of Magic

Ubiquitous magic - magic existing in everything, everywhere

Innate magic - the ubiquitous magic in a specific thing, with or without a core

Core - generator of a discharge of innate magic

Peripheral system - is fed through the core but also through the ubiquitous and effervescence (to a much lower degree, typically). Is developed later in life (puberty). Can be used for more controlled wandless magic or to feed wand with more power.

Effervescence - the residual energy lingering in an area after magic is performed

Ritualistic magic -

Wand magic - derived from rituals, compacted and channelled through a want rather than the complexity of a ritual

Spell chain -

Ancient magic - magic that generates only surrounding ubiquitous magic

Ancient wand magic - ubiquitous magic is drawn through the peripheral, typically most can only draw a little. Some (very, very few) with a defective core and overdeveloped peripheral can draw large amounts through the peripheral, and discharge through the core (”late-bloomers”).

Ancient runic magic - ubiquitous magic is drawn through a runic sentence or matrix (Runic magic - a bit of the writers own innate magic is left behind and lasts varying lengths of time)

Ancient rituals - where the magic is drawn entirely from ubiquitous magic

Arithmancy - probablity in relation to magic, e.g. predicting outcomes of ancient magical spells, sentences/matrices, rituals etc. The properties of certain numbers in relation to ancient magics. Predicting future events though arithmantic algorithm, probablity algorithms outcomes of different events. Every number has properties, and they can differ depending on which other combination of numbers are put before and after, for example. 5x2 is 10 but 5-2 is 3.

"the iconic fanon take on Arithmancy is that it's the scientific part of spellcrafting, analyzing the actual physical force of "magic" as equations and vectors and spellfire-patterns. Through Arithmancy you'll calculate the optimal widtha and shape of of wand motions, the length and cadence needed for the incantation, etc. — and then you build upon that framework by adding a bit of human intent to the casting, and matching words that have a bit of meaning to the abstract cadence. Note that the latter idea helps make sense of the "bad Latin" of a lot of spell names: the reason it's "Wingardium LeviOsA", which not only isn't proper Latin, but isn't pronounced with a proper Latin accent either, is that the Arithmancy calls for an incantation that goes "o-A-o o-O-A", and whoever invented the charm scrambled to find words in any language that would fit that pattern while having a meaning that more or less corresponded to what the spell was supposed to do."

Dark magic - destructive/consuming magic (core or ancient) e.g. sacrifice - physical e.g. a hand, a rooster, life, but also emotional e.g. a piece of soul, stress (from irritation, anger to profound trauma), hurt, malice/retribution e.g. deconstruction - blasting, entrail-expelling, taking of life

Light magic - creative magic (core or ancient) e.g. restoration - physical e.g. mending, healing, but also emotional e.g. love, good will, warding e.g. conjuring - things, also emotions

Ancestral magic - ”breeded” in certain families (old) to promote certain abilities such as divination, transfiguration, dark magic, light magic, ancient wand magic, wild magic, charms, potions/herbology/alchemy (more of a ”social”/uprbringing than genetics), mind magic, death magic, blood magic. Arranged marriages. Seen as barbaric by most of society nowadays.
