You mean arranging spells according to "colleges," a-la GURPS?
That doesn't sound like a bad idea.  Spells shouldn't be 
mutually exclusive ... Summon Fire Elemental might belong to 
both the "Summoning" and "Fire" colleges, for example.

What would be cool is if these "Crossover" spells had different
IQ requirements / ST costs depending upon the college from 
which the spell was cast.  This might require a complete over-
haul of the TFT system however.
