Default A list of all the different worked examples of magic systems

Im working on a setting where each of the PCs has access to a different type of magic. eg RPM, psionics as magic etc

So a list of all the different worked examples and where to find them would be helpful.

So far there's the everday magic system from Basic Set, RPM, all the systems from Thaumatology, Divine Favour, imbuements probably count too... psionics as magic


Whats left?

Sorcery from Pyramid which is a Powers based system.
Thaumatology Chinese Elemental Magic, though it really is chi.

Alchemical Baroque, mostly setting, with some specific knobs for ritual magic and alchemy.

Magical Styles, not really another system, but a collection of options and perks for spells-as-skills, to give different schools or styles differing feels.

Would Nature Powers count? The latest(?) issue of Pyramid has a “Green Power” article that stats up Plant Control as a Power with the Nature Modifier.

Urban Magic (I think that’s the name) has a few creative variants on Symbol Magic, such as gemstones and architecture.

Check out the various “Thaumatology” and “Magic” issues of Pyramid, too; for instance, one of them reworks Path Magic to represent “story magic”: deriving magical powers from archetypes and tales. Another provides a wealth of customizations for Ritual Path Magic.
