Hey @Atreya33 , that's my mod! I'm glad you like it. There's more spells coming in the next few weeks and a new one has just been posted. You might be interested since it's exactly what you requested: Vampirify.
@GrumpyGlowfish it's been hard classifying the spells, you make really good points though. I was unsure about Climatio's category. At the end I went for Practical because Untamed Magic seems to be more about causing chaos and sometimes you may just want to clear the skies for some sun or have some rain water your plants.
I didn't realize you were here as well. Thank you for your mod, it is very much appreciated. And I am surprised at how thorough you are with giving all the options. And the integration of vampire lore into the spell was something I didn't believe to be possible. A really nice touch.

The way I see it, Practical is about manipulating objects, Mischief is about manipulating people, and Untamed is about manipulating elements and invisible forces. This is just a general observation that doesn't apply to all spells (for example, why Minionize is considered untamed magic rather than mischief like all the other mind-control spells, I don't know), but weather and seasons are elemental, so that's why I would consider them untamed. (Not that it wouldn't be "practical", in the true sense of the word, if you could just turn a nasty thunderstorm into a sunny day...)
That is an interesting theory. I always considered the school of magic to depend on the intent of the spell rather than the nature of the target. Pratical are spells meant to be kind or useful, mischief is teasing or fun and untamed is for the powerful and dangerous spells. I think there is something to say for both versions. Mine is more based on subjective feelings, yours is more on physical criteria which means your theory obviously leaves less room for discussion where spells should go. I will definitely think about this some more.
