DFRPG / Re: Name for magic for magic of the autumn/spring courts?

Well, I think it's a start, but there's improvement to be made there. For one thing, I don't see Autumn as being particularly associated with Earth. Autumn to me is more about the wind and storms. The beginning is still in hurricane season, and even towards the end as the weather changes, it still tends to be windy, with occasional lightning storms, rustling and sometimes igniting the dry leaves.
Spring is more about Earth in my opinion. It's when things emerge from the earth to start growing. The "earth" of Spring is fertile and has the potential for life. Possibly even a "plant" element, since "Ice" isn't really an element either (it's Water in traditional magic, and Harry has produced it with Fire in the past).
For emotions, I think the dominant one of Autumn should be Fear and Celebration. It's a time both of plenty and of anticipation, due to the coming winter. Fetches are defectors from the now-defunct Autumn court. Spring should be about Hope, since it's when life begins anew.
Abseelie and Adseelie make sense though, so I will yoink that.
