Hmm, I'd say we should learn the memory thing first so we wont need to spend time on studying (unless we have something else we need to do). We really need to get our stats up. Hopefully it wont take too long to get to three spells per day (one for studying, one for car-repair/general project, one for emergencies).

Ok, lots of spells have been suggested, and questions asked. I'm working on answering them, but it's going to take a while since I'm a bit busy today. So let's put a hold on making new spells for a bit, and focus on the vote. I'll have the answer post up later today, and the update will follow shortly thereafter.

And here's the Answer post. Vote will be called in about 3 hours, so if anyone wants to vote, or change theirs, now's the time to do it. And remember, 10 votes gets you a bonus XP.
But for regular Actions, it depends on whether it's a Weekday or Weekend as to how much magic you have available during actions.
Good to go
Might be simpler to just disperse it into the air around you.
This one doesn't quite make sense, since kinetic energy only exists on impact, so you'd be bouncing off the ground like a rubber ball as written. I'd suggest going back to Matter Element, and having it cancel out your mass, it'd effectively make you weightless. It would also be a Transmutation Aspect because it's changing the properties of matter.
Fine, but no need to be this specific with solar energy, just light would do.
This one is good, and also rather clever, kudos.
This one is more complex than a lvl 1 spell can handle. I'd suggest a lvl 2 version of this spell using featherlight as a prereq.
Changing your body has serious safety implications. Anything effect a living being has to have all three elements behind it because of a living bodies inherent complexity.
Seems fine, or you could actually manipulate the windpipe directly for extra WTF factor.
Even with magic, unless you upgrade the spell to hell and back, air is not going to be providing a lot of protection. You'd be best with a pseudo earth bending type of spell that pulls a chunk of ground up to use as cover.
All the spell would be doing is ripping molecular bonds to convert the mass of an object into a highly compressed gas. Which is what is called an 'explosion'.
Sort of, Mind Manipulation is mostly about finding and moving stuff around in peoples heads. You can make memories harder, or easier to find, but you need a transmutation aspect if you want to change anything.
Pretty good
Needs to be a transmutation.
Needs to be transmutation if you want to enhance a memory, but a manipulation spell would let you keep a memory front and center in your mind.
A little too specific for a lvl 1 spell. Knock it up a lvl.
These are good to go.
A bit borderline, but I'll allow it as is.
Energy/Manipulation can move the energy around directly, this is a Matter/Manipulation/Transmutation spell that creates a physical circuit of conductive material.
These seem to be more suited to Energy Manipulation than Matter.
So like Malleability, but with making an object more brittle instead of bendy. I'll allow it, but it might need a better description.
A little off, but acceptable. Mind Manipulation is about moving things around.
Needs to be Transmutation. Manipulation would let you lock the memory of your request in the front of their minds, but can not make it any more likely for them to do it than they normally would. It would keep them from forgetting it. Either on accident, or on purpose.
Energy/Matter dual Element spell, needs to be lvl 3.
All of these need to be lvl 3, using Matter to deal with the flesh, Energy to keep it alive, and Mind to handle all the complicated details so you don't give yourself super-cancer.
Sounds good.
Needs to be Velocity, and needs to have a Transmutation if you want to change it's heading.
Yes, you increase your Magic and Regen with XP, 1 for 1.
It would still be lvl 3, because of multiple Elements. You can make it single aspect, but it would be incredibly limited.
Yes, Magic is how many magic points you have, which you use to cast spells, sort of like in Final Fantasy and such games.
These are all Transmutation effects.
Transmutations mostly, and Destruction if you want to erase your presence permanently from their minds.
Right now, it's refilling as you sleep, easier to track that way. I'll track it hourly/minutely during social scenes, once your Regen is up high enough.
But for regular Actions, it depends on whether it's a Weekday or Weekend as to how much magic you have available during actions.

I meant KPE but seems understandable.
Should have changed that, it should be area on the other side of you, i.e. another enemy.
I'll find a way of shifting this.
It's meant as a last resort against a projectile weapon, since it would also destroy your clothes. the overall mass of all of that is ~0.75 Kg, to roughly 876L and will only cause an explosion about the same as about ~10 g of TNT, so a lot of fog and dust, and perhaps a couple minor bruises for you. But it will protect you of anything short of a airburst grenade.
All the mind stuff (except I'm Just saying) will b changed to transmutation.

If anything has velocity it has kinetic Energy. All moving objects have kinetic energy. Trust me, I'm a physics major. The reason that spell doesn't make sense is that to have kinetic energy you have to have velocity, and thus have to be moving. From the sound of it, the intent of the spell was to reduce the weight of objects, but what it would actually do given the description would be slow the fall of falling objects, or make them fall upwards.
The way to make object lighter would be to redirect the forces on an object, reducing the gravatic force and increasing the normal force, say. What element does force manipulation fall under?
The coefficient of friction for a surface is a measure of how rough or smooth it is. That seems more like matter than energy to me, but if you are ruling that manipulating forces comes under energy, I can see reason to put it under energy.
Oh, yes, of course, KE is a scalar.
Edit: Wait, hang on, isn't moving things around manipulation? I thought that energy transmutation is changing energy type.

I am pretty sure you are referring to kinetic energy, as kinetic energy is not a potential energy. The energy we are talking about is that given by K=(1/2)mv2, right?
Energy is very often exchanged between kinetic energy and potential energy, usually gravitational potential energy of the potential energy in a spring, but potential energy and kinetic energy are two very different things, and there is no 'kinetic potential energy'.
A falling object, for instance, gains speed by converting its gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
You may have been confused by @Gear's earlier false comments about there being no kinetic energy outside collisions.
In addition, Kinetic energy is a scalar, and has no direction. You could stop a falling object by transferring half of its downwards momentum into upwards momentum.

Well, I guess that I'm calling the vote. And with 7 out of 11 (Bonus XP Aquired!) votes Plan Collins wins. Update coming soon.
[x] Get something more fashionable (one action, $500, minor rep bonus at School)
[x] You somehow manage to find a banged up wreck of a car in a junkyard, it doesn't run, the dealer says that it's from a massive wreck on the interstate last month, and really only good for parts. But the frame's still good, and you can see a bit of a blue custom paint job with white racing stripes on it. But with your recently discovered 'special talents', you think you can fix it up rather quickly. (two actions, $2000, you'll be taking the bus till it's fixed)
-[x] It's your last school year, and college is right around the corner, time to get prepared (one action, minor grade improvement for the first month of school, can be taken multiple times)
I think I'm going to go on and make Velocity a property of Matter, as it can be 'set and forget', like throwing a ball and space, and if nothing hits it, it would just keep going forever. It's Velocity would not radiate away like Energy would. Manipulation would slowly change it like you would change the velocity of a rolling ball by pushing on it, Transmutation would instantly change the value of the velocity. It's more of a perceptual difference, but magic in this game is partly physics, partly conceptual.
Lvl 1 spells are meant to be versatile and powerful, in their own way, but also very limited and simple in their execution. If you want a Matter/Transmutation spell that breaks all molecular bonds within it's area of effect, except you, a lvl 1 spell can do that. But it could only do that. So your clothes, your hair, the ground your standing on, the air around you, dead skin, everything that isn't a living part of you, would be converted. Which is very dangerous, because not only are you suddenly standing in an overpressure wave, you're also standing on a solid chunk of gas that suddenly won't be solid.
A better idea is to make the spell, then upgrade it's casting range into a long range spell, then cast it on your enemies. Though it would leave a really weird looking corpse and scene for investigators.
As for what you want, an outwards mildly exploding defensive spell to push everything away, you would want a lvl 3 spell, where you can add the mind element to add more control over the spell results, be able to have it explode from like 5 cm from your skin out, and 5 cm above the ground.

You could also transmute it to instantly reverse the items heading, so as it falls down, it would suddenly be falling up, till gravity pulls it down. Repeat casting until over all velocity is low enough to safely hit the ground. You would look like a yo-yo though.
Kinetic Energy is really a bit of an imprecise phrase, as it represents the potential energy when two items with different relative velocities interact. It can really straddle the line between elements. Velocity, from an Elemental point of view, can be a type of Energy, or a property of matter, like mass. Sort of how photons are both a wave and a particle.
I think I'm going to go on and make Velocity a property of Matter, as it can be 'set and forget', like throwing a ball and space, and if nothing hits it, it would just keep going forever.

It's more of a perceptual difference, but magic in this game is partly physics, partly conceptual.
It doesn't really matter, even bullet impacts, spread out over even just a few feet of area would reduce the force per square inch to almost nothing. Where the velocity goes doesn't matter, as long as it's spread out.
What about the 9 cm or so deep tub of concrete/asphalt/dirt under your feet that would suddenly be converted into hyper compressed gas?

To me, Kinetic Energy is the Potential Energy that is released when two items of differing relative velocities collide. Until the collision, Kinetic Energy doesn't really exist. I really think that mass, or at least Velocity, would be better descriptors for the spell.
It was mostly because of the static that I wrote that it was energy. You are right that friction is of course Matter, though for anything beyond what would feel smooth or rough to your hand, you're going to need a higher lvl spell.
As I said above, it's really about the perceptual differences between it's application, gradual changes are manipulation, like pushing a block around, to transmutation instantly changing the blocks velocity to flip over.

Ok, maybe I went overboard with the physics jargon, and it didn't help matters that I was typing late at night and used kinetic instead of dynamic.

Slip (Lvl 1, (Matter/energy?), manipulation)

Grip (lvl 1, (matter/energy), manipulation)

Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is the work that would be done to bring a given mass up to its velocity. It is not a potential energy.
Given that the only way to change it is to either change mass or velocity, and we seldom want to change mass for most things currently proposed, it would be simpler to just deal with velocity for now.
It will become relevant once we start dealing with energy trasmutation, if we wanted to convert the kinetic energy of a projectile into thermal energy, robbing it of all speed and momentum, and heating it up.

0.2 New Clothes, New Car, New Man
Besides painting, unpacking, and organizing, Daryl managed to find some time to go get some clothes with his mother. He had to spend a good chunk of his own money, but Daryl has a pretty good selection of clothes for senior year. (-$500, +minor School Rep)
It took some work, but that old wreck of a car was in the shed out behind the house. Mom thought he was crazy for getting it, but finally relented and said that it was his money to spend. Now all Daryl had to do was actually fix it. Thankfully, he had a few 'special' tools for the job.
(-$2000, The car is made up of seven areas, Frame, Body, Engine, Electrical, Interior, Paint, and Wheels. The condition for all of them, besides Frame, is 'wrecked'. Frame is at 'bad'.)
Before working on the car though, Mom's been wanting you to do some prep work for school, since it's right around the corner now. So one evening after she got home from work, the two of them went out to the library to get some books and Daryl spent some time over the next few days doing the schools recommended reading and worksheets they gave him when he transferred. (+Grades, +Relationship with Mom)
Though now that Mom has been reminded about school, she wants Daryl to promise spend an action every weekday during School studying to keep his grades up, because she knows he's not the most dedicated student, and it's important for college.

[x] Get something more fashionable (one action, $500, minor rep bonus at School)
[x] You somehow manage to find a banged up wreck of a car in a junkyard, it doesn't run, the dealer says that it's from a massive wreck on the interstate last month, and really only good for parts. But the frame's still good, and you can see a bit of a blue custom paint job with white racing stripes on it. But with your recently discovered 'special talents', you think you can fix it up rather quickly. (two actions, $2000, you'll be taking the bus till it's fixed)

0.2 New Clothes, New Car, New Man
Besides painting, unpacking, and organizing, Daryl managed to find some time to go get some clothes with his mother. He had to spend a good chunk of his own money, but Daryl has a pretty good selection of clothes for senior year. (-$500, +minor School Rep)
It took some work, but that old wreck of a car was in the shed out behind the house. Mom thought he was crazy for getting it, but finally relented and said that it was his money to spend. Now all Daryl had to do was actually fix it. Thankfully, he had a few 'special' tools for the job.
(-$2000, The car is made up of seven areas, Frame, Body, Engine, Electrical, Interior, Paint, and Wheels. The condition for all of them, besides Frame, is 'wrecked'. Frame is at 'bad'.)
Before working on the car though, Mom's been wanting you to do some prep work for school, since it's right around the corner now. So one evening after she got home from work, the two of them went out to the library to get some books and Daryl spent some time over the next few days doing the schools recommended reading and worksheets they gave him when he transferred. (+Grades, +Relationship with Mom)
Though now that Mom has been reminded about school, she wants Daryl to promise spend an action every weekday during School studying to keep his grades up, because she knows he's not the most dedicated student, and it's important for college.
[] Promise (+Grades, +Relationship with Mom)

One action every other turn spent studying is probably a good idea anyway. If our grades start slipping they might get suspicious of why we keep slinking off to do "stuff".
--[X] Body (1 action, improve to 'Broken')
--[X] Engine (1 action, improve to 'Broken')
--[X] Electrical (1 action, improve to 'Broken')
We might as well just become an expert at Magical Car Repair. We could probably make some good money buying junkers, fixing them up, then reselling them.
-[X] Explore the Neighborhood (one action)
Let's take a break to meet some new people, though. We can always use test subj-FRIENDS. Yes, friends.

It's not every other turn, it is every weekday. If we have one turn a day, as seems to be the case, it is 5 turns out of seven.
That said, it is a solid plan. We need our social links, since that is our forte, but we will never finish the car in time if we don't commit a lot of time to it.

This play might look a bit odd, as our regen is much higher than our magic, and we will only have a few spells, but hear me out.
24 regen will hopefully get us 1 magic per hour. combined with the repair spells, and the mental utility spells, this massively increases our ability to amplify what we can do throughout the day. Every hour we would be able to commit some knowledge perfectly to memory, or focus on the task at hand almost supernaturally every two hours, or in stretches of up to ten or five hours respectively, if we let our magic pool.
Also, it should drastically improve the speed at which we can work on the car, which is probably limited by magic reserves.
I also added thermal shunt, so we have at least some combat ability.
@Gear if we have a regen of 24 magic per day, do we regenerate it hourly? If not, I shall have to revise my plan.
Also, If you like, I could maintain a list of pells that you have confirmed are admissible.
