Types of magicians:
Diviner
Conceptual awareness:
The magician uses linguistic relativity to change their perspective on reality. The past and present events are summarized in symbols, and those symbols in one single logogram. From there, the magician is able to predict certain paths of the future based on this new way of thinking. The practice can be used to better understand and manipulate a known subject: since the persona is formed and/or influenced by memories, they are translated in single logograms, meaning that the magician knows exactly how to behave in order to influence the subject. The magician can also study its personal logograms to predict its own future, better if combined with the logograms of the surrounding world. Theoretically, if a magician produces logograms for everything it will be in the dream of ether, thus gaining omniscience, but practically that's impossible. The magicians able to produce logograms are called diviners. A diviner can also understand and speak any type of language in the world.
Magicians may also have trained in controlling and crafting their own dreams, by writing them in logograms immediately after the awakening. The reason is the lack of interest in the surrounding world that has become more predictable for them. The result is called lucid dreaming, and it can have one major purpose other than enjoyment: discovering the subconscious logograms. In a process called hypnotic reincarnation logograms of a particular persona are instructed to the subject into making it that particular persona; this is similar to transferring one's mind, way of thinking, and memories, into another, like some sort of fake immortality. The magician can also do that process to itself, either with the following ability to see that persona in its dreams, or to be able to become that persona, also like having multiple personalities that can be triggered by specific orders, or nothing at all.
Diviners are the scariest and most dangerous types of magicians, because of their knowledge of logograms they have vast knowledge of any kind, especially future predictions and persona. They also tend to be expert hypnotizers, since they need that particular craft to make the logograms. They usually don't need monk enhancements because of their predictions, but they can access those crafts if needed.

Ontology
The following is not a story, rather the description of an erotic worldbuilding project. The miracle of life, in this world, is explained by a mythological advent: an ancient diety fell on the planet, leaving their blood all over the place.
