How they biologically come about (some have large amounts of Magic whilst others have larger amounts of psychic ability, it's mostly genetic and/or gained through practice and certain species have higher preference for 1 than the other)

Magic: using the arcana your body produces, takes large amounts of mental temperance or calmness/concentration (difficult to practice but easy to procure)

Psychic: using the psychic potential your body produces, unlike magic it is mostly emotional and feeling based (hard to procure but easy to practice)

Mechanical: any of the types listed above being in prolonged contact with machinery (may come from machinery used in a ritual to a phone being obsessed about by a magic user, anything really)

Divine: granted by a deity or creating your own deity via prayer and faith (praying to an imaginary friend may make them come to life, praying to your family heirloom may give it sentience and powers)

Eldritch: the composite of Magic, grows stronger on mental instability and dysfunction, (much like a broken furnace spewing powerful flames randomly and leaking flammable oil)

Chaos: caused by random chance and coincidence, spills out from tears in reality and cracks along the seams of time-space

Blood/dark: sacrifice based, purely malevolent and power hungry
