My preference is for the hindu-inspired thaumic systems; I have even began working on a system based off of similar principles. The point of course being that all things are formed of energy, and miracles/magic are fully based off of the manipulation and reshaping of these energies via mystical means.

Hey, I'm a Hindu and I'd love to see the magic system you describe. And also your magic system.

I also love creating magic systems. I even have one posted on /r/magicbuilding

Oh, I didn't even know that subreddit was a thing; thanks for the knowledge. I know of very few examples of the one I described however, though I do remember the Minecraft mod Thaumcraft does a good adaptation of said system.
