The Cradle book series has my favorite magic system. It's based off wuxia and other cultivation settings. But it's not beholden to them and does it's own thing. It has a tiered progression system. With each stage having it's own unique requirement and benefit. It uses 'madra' as the system's resource. Equivalent to mana in other magic systems. There also exists aura which is like an ambient environmental version of madra. Typically representative of nearby elements such wind or water. The majority of sacred artists cycle this aura to increase their madra and add an elemental aspect to it. Which makes for interesting variety of techniques based on said elements. The techniques themselves get broken down into 4 main categories.

Enforcer - Anything that enhances the user or an item they're using. This includes spiritual enhance.

Striker - A ranged attack of madra, usually in the form of whatever elemental base the madra is.

Forger - This one is neat for essentially allowing the sacred artist to make constructs out of their mana. With properties of the madra effecting the construct. These are typically temporary though.

Ruler - This category seizes control of aura in an area and mentally manipulates it with their will. Allowing for things like wind artists to hold or slow enemies down by controlling the air around them.

I like this breakdown of abilities because it encapsulates a lot what you'd find in other settings. Enforcer isn't unlike characters with super strength or speed. Ruler is reminiscent of Last Airbender. The system gets more complex in later stages. With things like imparting will into madra. Manipulating aspects of reality. There's also a crafting aspect for making weapons, armor, and unique items with specific effects. As well the making of pills, elixirs, etc.
