Unique Magic. Found in only a handful of people or items at a time.Soul-linked spells, cursed gifts, ancient rituals, or one-of-a-kind abilities.Often unteachable or bound to destiny."This magic chooses its wielder — not the other way around."

Rare Magic. Requires incredible focus, talent, or a powerful lineage. Time magic, dream magic, pain magic. Feared, regulated, or banned in some realms.

Epic Magic. Nearly mythological; passed down or hidden away. Planar magic, resurrection, binding true names, elemental fusion. A mage with this changes worlds.
