General Hypothesis: Symbolic magic aka the temple of the heart, is the most common form of casting, and is not seeing other forms of casting style added on.
It has been thought that while symbolic casting is just the basics of casting with most mages moving on towards other more advanced styles as they continue to advance with their casting. My current sample size of magi appears to have them only focus on Symbolic casting. I am unsure if this is partially from ease of use, or just a habit by the caster after they have learned how to initially cast magic.
With how deregulated learning to access your mana and therefore your circuit, most magi have a rather sudden onset of learning how to cast their magic. This is most common for children who have accessed their magic around the age of ten. These formative years are often sparked by intense emotions which serve as a catalyst of symbolic magic. Furthering this hypothesis, the raw emotions of these years are further reinforced by magic that affects their emotions. Hot headedness is often enhanced by such magics as fire magic, where the more leveled headed children continue to gravitate to more balanced magics.
A feedback loop of casting symbolically, is the emotions of the children who grow to become an adult are artificially manipulated by the symbolic magic that is running through their circuits. Due to lack of inner control of their mana, it appears that mana and magic control the person more than they control it.
Further samples and questioning of magi is needed to discover how widespread this phenomenon is. Admittedly the half a year I have spent on my current lines of questioning is short and not worth spreading widely.
Current plans: Continue the inquiries of magi and their magic. Further observe unique traits of these magi, and see if they are stuck on symbolic casting. Further note down each subject to see if mutations are occurring at an accelerated rate due to symbolic casting is also warranted.
