Ah sorryperhaps. I'm just adding the correction because my proposal was abstraction and crafting.

Without putting a ton of thought into it, Yellow could be something like order or control. I'm just afraid that might be too broad.
What does everyone think?
Hmm, you make a solid point. let me revise my little list.My only issue with it is that I think defining quiddities (correct me if I'm wrong ChamomileHasWords ) should probably be a little less metaphorical. Like you can have broad categories. I went with that through "abstraction" in blue, where I was trying to capture this idea of dealing with more fundamental, intangible, unseen forces, like dealing with the mind, metamagic or dimensional magic. None of this is set in stone of course, but while I do see the conceptual link you're going for I think it might be a little too tangential to go for the linguistic "true form" or "true strike".
THAT BEING SAID, I think there's a pretty easy fix to that. Quiddities can have more than a single concept to them probably. So if we add "restoration" to yellow's "truth" (making it "truth and restoration") that neatly covers everything it seems you were going for with truth. This would come with the bonus that "decay" could serve as the opposite of restoration, which would give a stronger link to purple's current undead theme.
Aside from that, I think it sounds like a pretty great idea for yellow! It also works with your character concept, as divination spells would probably fall under this concept.
Thats fair. lemme change it rqCommanderNecro I think that list has quite a fair amount of redundancy in it, especially in red with "industry" and "industrialization". Green's "nature" + "plants & animals" also seems a bit redundant. Blue's psionics I guess isn't redundant, though whether it fits the concept I'm not sure either.
Some follow-up questions about the world. First, I'm assuming this isn't Earth but some generic fantasy world we'll be building collaboratively, right? Second, is there a reason the world is a mystery to the wizard, and why now all of a sudden they've decided to go explore it?
That second one might help with character motivations, if they want one.
