Magic

My magic system is going nicely =D

Aura magic - Air, movement, instant transportation, control temperatures. People with strong aura magic often have very weak auras, but once their magic is activated they can control their aura.
Thought magic - Fire, persuasiveness and mind control. People with strong thought magic are especially good leaders.
Heart magic - Water, understanding, empathy and mind reading of especially strong thoughts. People with strong heart magic are typically very selfless and kind, and make excellent friends.
Life magic - Earth, physical strength and agility, longevity, shape shifting. Only people with very strong life magic can activate their magic to shape shift, and this is extremely rare.

All magic is transferable between willing participants, but the ability to use magic for different purposes is genetic. Everyone has some ability to use magic, and some magic of their own, for as long as they live. If someone's thought magic is weak they are shy, if someone's heart magic is weak then they are thoughtless, and if someone's life magic is weak then they are clumsy. Children born without the ability to use life magic soon die.

Aura magic and life magic are opposites - people especially strong in one are usually weak in the other. Thought magic and heart magic are also opposites.

I promise, this won't all be in the story. I just need to have it straight in my head. This is going to be good :D
