Have you considered basing groups of styles around their methods? For ex. several styles that consider magic to be interacting with spirits as opposed to a cluster that sees magic as manipulating impersonal forces.

The spirit groups could differentiate based on type of spirit (demon, ghost, ancestor, rat) or type of interaction (sorcerer, shaman, priest).

The force groups could differentiate based on type of force (elemental, zodiacal, decanic) or method ( invoker, alchemist, inscription).
