If you don't want to make specific types of mages, but still want different kinds of magic, maybe try magical professions? That is, individuals who have magic simply infuse their normal efforts with magic.
 
For example:
Mercenaries who learn to make their fists hit like iron and their bodies heal faster.
 
Medical personnel who can heal injury and cure illness.
 
Animal trainers who can use the senses of their animals.

If nothing else, they sometimes serve as a way to make things about your PC come up in game.
 
Like, I *could* simply mention the fact that I've got this tattoo from whatever mystical mentor trained me, or that his old archnemesis is now looking for me, the best of his old enemy's students, to prove his superior magic, or even that I look very strange to people who view souls ever since mine started that change that my magic causes to a caster's spirit. But then everyone can feel free to ignore it totally to go right back to some other thing that they wanted the game to be about.
 
But by having disadvantages and complications become an option for a PC, you suddenly have that way of letting everyone know, the things I want to add to the game as a whole include...

Magic, specifically being used to adjust density or affect those with an adjusted density.
 
Technology (or a science-based effect, like a mutated person who shoots energy of the right sort to do such a thing) that is specific to adjusted densities.
 
Powers that increase or decrease other people's density as is their special effects, with or without a target already being adjusted in their density (a power might have a damage effect fluffed as being decreasing the density of some parts of a person, but not others, so that things begin to go wrong within their body, like blood just falling out of suddenly intangible veins).

Could always pick one specific IRL lake and use the name of it as the surname.

There are already some Lightsabre martial arts tournaments, and I'm a lot more likely to allow them to be using "plasma swords" in a nearby future than the copyright withheld "lightsabre", but someone invents a real working lightsabre and has the foresight to also develop hard light hologram versions for fun as a toy training tool, then it is totally plausible for other space opera to have a lightsabre fighting tourney.

Nyooom, (as the sound you make when you go fast...)

Stuff like this, and the fact that Superman is well-known as having a fortress of solitude, is why I like to think that almost nobody can figure out that he even has any secret identity to figure out, let alone figuring it out. I also think, as of recently, that all of the Luthors, as power-mad as they may be, at least never behave transphobic. I think that they all percieve Clark and Superman, even if they know the secret (these are two of the same person), still refuse to ever acknowledge that revelation if a related topic gets brought up.
 
Kal'El is a deadname, as far as they're concerned, so they'll avoid using it, and they always address the person who speaks to them by the name they're giving.
 
You want to be called Clark Kent? Great! Clark Kent, famous for his incredible human interest stories! Clark is an incredible person, and really successful and driven in his chosen field, which isn't any of my own passions (business and tech) so I don't need to compete with him. He has a wiry build with old fashioned farmboy style strength, where you've not had to work out cause you grew up lifting hay for hours every day, unlike my own intentionally fairly large physique designed by exercise to *look* a lot more intimidating for a bonus negotiation tool. 
 
Superman? A powerful alien, who threatens humanity not only by preventing some of my technically illegal but clearly necessary work, but also by being an unchecked vigilante of such incredible and unstoppable power that, if he is ever convinced to rule over us, humanity will need preparations already in place to stop him.
 
The fact that, technically, Lex is friends with Clark and the arch enemy of Superman, while they occupy the same physical form during different times? Irrelevant.
 
Like, I'm sure Lex remembers an incredible HR manager, Sax, came out as enby and started using the name Sax, they/them pronouns. Probably, Lex remembers their deadname and what pronouns they used to use, but it would be beneath him to use that info. The same is true of Clark's deadname and of his Superman alter ego.
 
(Also, I'm less informed on D.I.D. than I am on my fellow trans folk, so I might be missing the mark...) Lex probably sees Superman and Clark as completely different to each other in much the same way as he sees his cousins, Jeff and Dan, who're both part of the same D.I.D. system.

Well, you know, the name Lance is a new and interesting name now, I suppose, but you have to think of way back when...
Cause people used to be called Lance, *a lot*.
😆

I'm not sure how any game of cricket gets to that point.

Tis looking handy, to be fair, as an extra large list of murder methods.

If you want stats for something like a cure using any power based effect you end up having to account for why it shuts down Cyclops' eye beams as well as doing the same to Superman if it were something that would also affect his character, equally.
 
The only way you can effectively get that is GM fiat; handwavium.

Thanks guys. I think I know what I'm doing now.
