Warrens from Malazan fix any magic system. Here, Iโ€™ll prove it:
The Paths were those Warrens which were most easily accessible to human mages and priests and used as a source of power.

Aral Gamelon โ€” The Path of Demons (sometimes spelled Aral Gamelain)[5]
Denul โ€” The Path of Healing
D'riss โ€” The Path of Stone
Hood's Path โ€” The Path of Death
Meanas โ€” The Path of Shadow and Illusion
Mockra โ€” the Path of the Mind
Rashan โ€” The Path of Darkness
Ruse โ€” The Path of the Sea
Serc โ€” The Path of the Sky
Telas โ€” The Path of Fire
Tennes โ€” The Path of the Land
Thyr โ€” The Path of Light
Additionally there was Fener's Warren, which could be channelled like the other Paths and was said to border Chaos itself.

Elder Warrens

Realms which were mostly used by some of the older races. Some of these Warrens were also described as Holds.

According to Imperial Adjunct Lorn, the Warrens of the Imass (T'lan Imass) were similar to those of the Jaghut and the Forkrul Assail i.e. Elder, that is to say, blood-, and earthbound.

Ahkrast Korvalain โ€” Forkrul Assail Hold.
Denaeth Rusen โ€” Elder Warren of the Seas, Mael's Warren.
Kaschan โ€” K'Chain Che'Malle Elder Warren, "Born of sounds beyond our hearing"
Kurald Galain โ€” Tiste Andii Elder Warren of Darkness[8]
Kurald Liosan/Kurald Thyrllan โ€” Tiste Liosan Elder Warren of Light.
Kurald Emurlahn โ€” Tiste Edur Elder Warren of Shadow. The Shattered Warren.
Omtose Phellack โ€” Jaghut Elder Warren of Ice, also used by the Stormriders.
Starvald Demelain โ€” The Tiam Warren, the First Warren, Warren of Dragons and Chaos.
Tellann โ€” T'lan Imass Elder Warren of Fire

For anyone reading this, if you see this:

words โ€” words

It's AI generated text. ChatGPT like doing an emdash with spaces, which isn't kosher. You're supposed to do an emdash without spacesโ€”like this, or an endash with spaces - like this, but not both. Fuck if I know why that's the shibboleth, but here we are.

I copied it from Malazan wiki, itโ€™s not machine generated.

>Mages access these Warrens by creating a portal, or "gate," to channel the Warren's power and shape it into magical effects. Each Warren is associated with a specific aspect or concept (like fire, water, or shadow) and offers unique abilities to those who can access it

Okay, so why did you just copy that instrad of, you know, actually making an argument for why Warrens would fix something or even fit into every magic system? I like magic in Malazan Book of the Fallen, too, but you're not really making much of a case here.

So, do you intend to actually prove anything, or just leave your assertions in the "cuz I said so" state?
