Four schools of magic... Four seasons in a year... *DING!* Idea!

Why not have the time of year effect in a positive or negetive way, Elemental Magic?

Summer - Boots Fire magic /hinders Water magic

Fall - Boots Air magic/hinders Earth magic

Winter - Boosts Water magic/hinders Fire magic

Spring - Boosts Earth magic/hinders Air magic

Thia title brought up "Timecube" fears.  but otherwise, I like the idea as long as its not a dramatic change.  Should be a noticeable one, but not huge shifts.

Perhaps it could effect shrines as well or instead.

Shrines that are in season might produce bonus mana, where as if it's in it's "bad" season might produce none.

Dunno, one turn is a very short period. Perhaps in combination with a longer period.

For example you could have a "decade of winds" in which the next 10 winter turns makes the air sphere more powerful, and then "decade of rains" etc.

as the seasons change evey turn it would be hard - if not impractical to plan it properly. - have it that there are chance "events" that occur and then they happen on random depending on what (season) the turn was at.
