Last year, while waiting for a delayed train, I spent the time developing in my head the magic systems for The Face of the Pumpkin.
People in the Sorcery Society of Salem (as well as other magic groups of sorcery and enchantment) fit into four different classes of magic (earth, air, fire and water)... I came up with different advantages that these classes have and in particular, with regards to Teleportation.
Earth magic produces Green Apples that when eaten allow the person to transport to their wanted location. Disadvantage: You must always have apples on hand. Advantage: Although earth magic produces it, anyone can wield it.
Air magic allows Teleportation by thinking. It is perhaps the most advantageous, but it uses a lot of energy, and so one can only take in so much in a certain amount of time.
Fire magic is one of the most difficult as it requires the production of a potion that ignites a fire portal. Due to its power with light, Fire Teleportation is the only way to travel beyond Planet Earth.
Water magic is done through making portals by thought through bodies of water. It uses less personal energy than air magic and is easier for others to follow, but Point A and Point B must be in bodies of water (ocean, river, lake, swimming pool, etc)... It's always safer to travel with magic Blueberries to breathe under water.
