My suggestion was less about which Realms you would use and more about what rules you would use for the "Magical Talent <type>" trait: instead of the Availability Check and Reaction Roll mechanic that Divine Favor uses (which obviously carries a strong implication that you're dealing with a person of some sort), use the "Flexible Magic" rules from
Thaumatology (specifically,
Performing the Working, p.191) when your style of magic is more impersonal in its nature. Go ahead and assign any given mage a single Realm, and eyeball that Realm's cost by breadth;
Thaumatology's method of assigning costs by counting Realms of roughly equal size is merely a suggestion, anyway.
