Magic Types (in the book series)

Flyers

They can only go a few feet off the ground, but more practiced Flyers can fly much higher & carry passengers.

Fuzzies

Fuzzies can communicate with animals and start out feeding animals and later connect with them. Certain Fuzzies can understand animal language.

Fluxers

Fluxers can turn into animals and start out fluxing into kittens, then move on to more difficult animals.

Flares

See Pyrokinesis for the psychic power similar to the Flare power

Flares can set things on fire, heat things up, and create flames with their hands.

Flickers

Flickers can make other things invisible or make themselves invisible. In the film, due to budget constraints, Flickers have telekinesis.

Upside Down Magic (UDM)

UDM is unconventional power, usually a variant of the above five; for example, Bax Kapoor is a Fluxer who turns into rocks and other inanimate objects.

Double-Talents

Double talents are rare and have two of the types of magic. For example, Mitali is a Flare-Fluxer who turns into animals. However, her animals heat things up around them and breath fire.
