I'm thinking sorcery, more or less, modified pretty heavily. Using the path skill and thaumatolgy skill limits, but sorted out more like a martial arts skill being the limited and then each "move" having a skill, like in the psionics book, and those skills are a will based karate or something along those lines.

Oh, and I'd also look into Chinese Elemental Powers.
I'd second this.
I'd go with a base power such as Control (specific element) and each style has a list of Techniques for power stunting and signature moves could be bought as alternative abilities and forgo the Techniques (I'd let players trade points in Techniques towards alternative ability costs representing practice) so signature techniques dont have the associated FP cost and are more reliable to use - since they dont need a roll.
Each style could use Will for the rolls or buy a skill such as Earth Style (IQ/H) for rolling against. That is a similar model to GURPS Psionic Powers and adds flavor.
