Your magic system will probably be an itegral part of your story. The kind of magic system that you use should depend on the world you create. If your world is very similar to a medival world where most people are peasants, artisans, and craftsman, then only a few people should know how to use magic. If only a few people know how to use magic, why? Is the ability inherited. If it is inherited then some people will have limited capacity while others should have great capacity. If your world is a futuristic world that has somehow lost its capacity for technology then you could make make magic a sort of mutation. If your world is very earthy and natural, then maybe people derive their power to use magic from their connection with nature or the earth.
Don't make your magic system like a online game like World of Warcraft, which has very specific spells and groups. Create a magic system that is more fluid and mysterious.
Here is a suggestion: Look at asian views on medicine. Look how they describe chi and other innate forms of energy and adapt those views for your story.

I hate people who speak in "lols". Is it so goddamn hard to use proper grammar, for heaven's sake? English is my third language and I can express myself better than most of these "writers".
