I hope there are room for some team games. And some themed gamed like you are suggesting.

Hrm, with the game the way it is now, it might be possible to have a "forbidden magic" theme. For example, "evil" (blood, death, sorcery) magic vs "good" (fire, air, water, earth, nature) magic. Of course the elemental magics and nature aren't really good, but perhaps they could be neutral. And while some astral spells are "evil", like Master Enslave, some aren't, and some specifically target undead. So you'd have some interesting problems figuring out who is allowed to use what and what is forbidden. Maybe it could be addressed through modding at some point, though you can also just do it through the honor system once you agree on some rules.
And of course, you can think of all kinds of good thematic reasons for why the evil magic is forbidden and why some of the gods have banded together to purge the world of those who use it, etc.
Another problem is that I have heard these evil paths, blood, death, and astral are arguably the most powerful paths in the game. Of course, maybe you can come up with a good thematic reason for this, and maybe find other ways to balance it. Or you can also let the good guys use certain astral spells, barring spells that curse, call horrors, or enslave.
