Why was there no gold magic in the magic attribute categories in the fantasy novels (all of them, those that had appeared in the novels)?

I often see magic appearing in some novels, but the categories of magic are different. Perhaps it's because the author's novel needs it, but it's a problem for me. How many categories are there? I saw that some of the spells set by the author included water, fire, earth, and wood, but I was puzzled as to why there was no gold. Was it because fire was the most offensive magic and metal was invincible?

Answer 1

My answer was not accurate enough. In fantasy novels, magic attributes were usually divided into the following categories:

1. Elemental Magic: Mastery of natural elements such as fire, water, wind, earth, etc. Can create and use various elemental attacks.

2. Star Magic: Control the power of the stars to manipulate the orbit of the stars to create a star storm.

3. Light Magic: Mastering the power of light can create attacks and defenses of the power of light. At the same time, it can also use light healing magic.

4. Dark Magic: Mastering the power of darkness can create dark attacks and defenses, and can also use dark healing magic.

5. Life Magic: Control the power of life to heal and harm life, create life mutations, etc.

6. Strength Magic: Mastering the power of strength can increase one's own strength and create powerful attacks and defensive methods.

In novels, golden magic usually referred to magic that controlled money and wealth. It was rarely classified as an independent magic attribute. Although money was very important in modern society, in fantasy novels, money was not an all-powerful magic power. It was more of an economic means and trading tool. Therefore, in novels, gold magic was rarely classified as an independent magic attribute.
