Magic is practical metaphysics. Why? Because theoretical metaphysics has absolutely no real life practical applications. If there is only one theoretical metaphysics (which I believe is the one in picrel), is there only one practical metaphysics?

Too hylic. Go back to Plotinus and Iamblichus.

If you say so. What's your answer to the question?

I've been thinking the same thing anon. Euler's models are a bit weird. You would need to distinguish between principles (elements) and concepts (compounds) in order to get a clearer picture of your worldview.

Also, don't try and mix metaphysics with ethics until you have a really solid foundation. Platonism is a fine place to start but their goal was a lot less pragmatic than what you seem to be aiming for.
