I thought about it some more, and here we are:
I've changed my mind, slightly, on #2. Instead of Passive being a category like Defensive, Offensive, etc, magic would have a status: Active, or Passive. Otherwise, how do you know if someone's "Passive Magic" is e.g. Defensive or not, when you're looking at how your magic levels interact? The definition simply being that Passive is either a constant effect, or triggered by something (not consciously activated), whereas Active is a choice. You can still have continuous effects from Active magic, just that you can consciously toggle the state of whatever it is.
Hrm.

Proximo, are you in danger of becoming a good man?
