So I think the types of magic in Runeterra are the folowing: Arcane magic- Manipulates the arcane energy and does some fancy spells and charms, most noticable users Xerath and Ryze Runic magic- Basically the same sh** as arcane but with runic energy instead of arcane one, does some things different than arcane , Ryze and Brand use it Blood Magic- Manipulation of blood basically Shadow Isles magic- pretty self explanatory Cosmic Magic- The ones used by Targonians and most of the Ascended, as well as Veigar Void Magic- its only known users are Malzahar (and probably other cultists that follow him) and the Watchers Spiritual Magic- Has something to do with spirits, for example Karma Elemental magic- Elemental manipulation, for example the monks in the Riven and Yasuo story that were manipulating the tower Did I miss any? And in which one would some champs like Lux classify as?

What happened on the Shadow Isles is just necromancy. You missed shapeshifting (which is an innate, but magical, ability) and illusion.

Perhaps it'd be better to classify it according to types/schools and sub-schools? E.g. evocation, divination, illusion, transmutation etc.

Time magic: Zilean Ekko Ekko needs a device to harness the time magic powers of the hextech crystal, but I think it still counts.

Necromancy: Yorick Mostly this attribute seems to be granted by the black mist (not sure where Mordekaiser got his soul enslaving powers, tho, but at least Yorick seems to use the black mist).

And I guess Lux would most likely fit into the elemental magic type. Her Elementalist skin represents her in a state in which she is able to bend more elements than just light, but how she uses light is alot like elemental magic in general.

There's shadow magic that created Nocturne, and I assume Kayn and Zed use, and some Yordle magic that hasn't been elaborated upon yet
