~Leylines~: these are the streams of energy that flow under our feet. It is the most commonly tapped in source of magic. Most mages will draw their power from these Leylines.

~Inner Mana~: What is coined as "Inner Mana" is the use of drawing upon yourself to cast a spell. these usually have drawbacks in excess, This is its own energy, And overuse can fatigue yourself for long periods of time.

~Celestial Bodies~: Celestial bodies is the focus of Astral Magic and similar fields. These are pools of energy drawn on by a mage to cast a spell that is within the Celestial Body's capabilities.

~Divines~: Divines are a holy-based magic that is drawn on by people who follow a certian god or goddess. This is usually blessed upon the individual to draw on in moderate amounts.

~Infernal~: Infernal magic is drawn from here. The Demonic magic is drawn from the Infernal Plane.

~Life Energy~: It uses energy drawn from living things to create a spell. Necromancy draws from it, as a perversion of intention.

~Ethereal Realm~: Magic used from the plane of the afterlife. Spirits and anything touched as a spirit can be cast from this. It is an almost exclusive source of magic.
