Diversity of Magical Tradition

Another thread discussing whether wizards can identify spells as they are being cast got me thinking... are magical spells universal in form or do you allow for more variety in your campaigns?

Will a human, goblin and reptile man all cast the Blur spell exactly the same way? Is magic like math?

It just seems to me that on a world as vast and diverse as Cidri, there might be a wide variety of magical traditions and styles. And to be clear, this is more about the GMs approach to world-building than rules.
