I agree on almost everything here, though as a user who uses mostly fantasy-style characters I have a couple of things about the mage thing to say:

For mages and such I usually list other weapons, or if lacking those mainstay spells, they use for short to long ranges and put "magic" or the name of the style they use in the "special" category. It's a good way to use if you want a mage to be at full power and still give a bit of their commonly used spells while fighting other characters who aren't pure mages (The type who almost exclusively casts as their attack, and a weapon is simply used as a focusing tool). The Powers/Abilities style Pach mentioned is very nice, but for those like me (who put a short description of each warrior's weapon / spell / magic style), it can be a bit cumbersome. For mages in combat with less-empowered people, the style I use can be beneficial, though if it's a pure mage clash, Pach's style would work best.
