I remember once trying to create a spell list based on Miracles in Genesis. I ended up with a bunch of nasty curses - Staff to Snake, Locusts, Frogs, Kill Firstborn and so on. If something like this was developed further it may avoid the whole elemental basis.

I hate to be so detail obsessed, but those three were in the book of Exodus. Genesis would be things like Create Universe, Flood Everything, Blow Up City, Turn Things Into Salt, And So Forth.

I once designed a simple magic system for a PnP game. It required to see everything in colored lines, a la Matrix with code lines, and to "tap" these lines to use the energy contained in them to create something useful.
Let's say that it worked a little like MtG's Mana system, but with a twist. You could find both white "threads of energy" coming from the sun, but also red "threads". It meant that you could use both light and heat from the sun to your purpose. The Black energy threads were omnipresent, everywhere, and would not flow in lines or curves. They would mostly lie around, and move snakelike. They represented chaos, and could be used to alter other lines. Let's say that you came across a tree (green threads flowing everywhere, the energy of life itself...) and needed wood. You could try and harness some chaos energy to make the life flee from a branch or two, and then concentrate the heat from the sun or from other living animals or humans to ignite the branches.
A wind would be both white and blue (movement) energy.
But on the other hand, you could create cold by simply moving heat lines away from a point, or temporarily blind someone by deflecting the light lines around his head. You could kill someone simply by knotting chaos lines around his own life and heat lines, or exhaust someone, or drain his "lifeforce", by channelling his red and green lines towards yourself.
And the more powerful or skilled in "magic" you were, the more lines you could use at once, meaning you could create more powerful spells.
On reading what I just wrote, I realize that this is not much use for a computer game system, because the sheer creativity that allows such a system cannot be hardcoded yet, unless you decide to go through a LONG LOOONG LOOOOOONG creational process, and an even longer coding process.
But it may prove useful to someone around here, who knows...

I know the you're trying to get away from the elements. Though I suppose if you're not really able to break away from them you could go the Wheel of Time path and weave them together in 'patterns' to change the effect and/or intensity etc. Wheel of Time used the four elements and then spirit. I suppose you could add some other things in there.
