[b]The Three Studies Of Magic[/b]
The Three Studies of Magic are fields of study that mages use to cast spells by channeling The "Forms". Forms are the Abstract and Perfect: Forms are not physical objects; they are abstract ideals that embody the perfect version of qualities such as beauty, justice, and equality. For example, while many beautiful things exist in the world, they are all imperfect copies of the Form of Beauty itself. Forms are timeless and unchanging concepts, basically existing outside of our space and time.

In a way, Forms are extra "domains", only they don't belong to gods per se. A domain is basically everywhere in the universe, but Forms, or "Ideals" as they are also called, are outside time and space. Thus, a mage can't manipulate Domains, though a Priest/Cleric can. A mage CAN however, call upon these Ideals/Forms for their power.

[b]Alchemy[/b]
Alchemy is basically a form of philosophy called "Form(s)". Forms are concepts that represent true reality, which exert their power over the flawed reality of the physical world. This doctrine of Forms states that every alchemical ingredient has attributes, which indicate the possible powers it may yield when blended in a potion. Alchemy needs physical ingredients to function, which differentiates it from magick. Alchemy is not merely cheap magic, or potion brewing, but a way to exact change in the world, and in themselves through said potions. 

[b]Magick[/b]
Magick is the most classical "Use hand gestures and spoken words for power" type of spell casting. In order to create a magical object, or to enchant one's self or someone else, rituals have to be performed perfectly. The reason for this is that Magick is basically channeling The Form(s) that the Mage knows into reality. Most Mages combine Alchemy and Magick together to cast spells. Think of Magick as whispers of Form. Magicians that learn Magick typically earn their knowledge from scrolls, spell books, and other inscriptions, rarely, but sometimes through oral recitations. The "magic words" are given power through these rituals and repetitious spell castings, rather than by being innately powerful like the spells of Wizardry. 

[b]Wizardry[/b]
While the other spells can be used from different languages, Wizardry it'self is cast by words that are innately magical. Spells from wizards are words that are innately powerful. Master wizards rarely cast spells of this form of magic with more than three words in a chain at once. Even three Words in one spell is equated to that of a master. Wizardry speaks Form into existence directly. 

Wizardry is a process of studying Forms. Proper study of Form(s) will allow the Wizard to learn more about magic, making the Wizard more like what they study until they are no longer just studying The Form, but infuse themselves with the power and esoteric qualities of Form(s) it'self. 

There comes a cost to accruing too much knowledge and power through Wizardry. This is why proper Wizards require years, decades or sometimes even life times to Master, and why they are often depicted as wizened old men. Mastering more than one Form exacts the cost of acquiring the characteristics of said Form. If the proper precautions - rest, focus of technique, and meditation are not practiced regularly, the Wizard is no longer the same man or woman. 

Through madness, ethical and philosophical changes in the Wizard, and other such psychological changes, they change into a different person, thus they are effectively lost.
