Trying to come up with magical 'schools' for a game, and my goal is to:
Use Ancient Greek, Koine if absolutely necessary
Have words of generally the same length and number of syllables (not like, seven four-letter words and one fourteen-letter word)
Have a Romanized form that is somewhat intuitive to pronounce (not like the Latin 'uu')
Be categories of the same 'thing' at the same level of specificity. (Not 'air, water, diamond, fire' or 'mind, soul, feet')
With that said, my attempt is:
- Hule - Matter
- Kinesis - Force
- Chronos - Time
- Topos - Space
- Nous - Mind
- Pneuma - Spirit
- Pathos - Emotion
- Telos - Purpose
- Moira - Fate
- Dunamis - Potential
Do these 'go' together in tense/theme/level of specificity? If not, can you suggest better words/conjugations that fit the above goals?
