There is a game that is related to this idea called "Ars magica" by atlas games and it has five art verbs with ten form nouns in it. With this in mind there are many more as the game is limited in scope to keep it simple, like as many as you can make in another language, excepting the verbs are still mostly five and yet the nouns are unlimited where you can specify exactly what is affected. As "make peace" to make a peaceful moment out of nothing. raw energy is everywhere so to say a few words gathers energy from all around to form the effect in a simultaneous cast that may have a weak effect. The hermetic mage will do jobs but with the aid of the hermedic magic to get through it.
The words are in any language meaning: "make, perceive, alter, control and destroy". With the forms as nouns of any idea that is a noun and describes describes some item. Now some effects aren't obvious except for the pattern of events.
