Re: ST-based magic [Thaumatology]
It would certainly be pretty counter to typical magic systems, as the brainy scholar would likely have less magic potency than the brawny fighter. There could be balance issues with a [10]/level trait giving all of the benefits of ST (HP, damage, lifting ability and carrying capacity, etc) as well as enhancing magical potency. It's not something I'd be very inclined to try out, but could certainly make for interesting characters and campaigns (I'm seeing a bunch of strongmen and bodybuilders flexing and posing to work magic).
