What are they, what do they deal with, and what are some of their attributes. The more ridiculously in-depth answer, the better.

The first link just names them, but does not fully answer my question, and the second link does not answer my question besides telling that Quentin's nondescript discipline is an intended mystery.

The disciplines are; physical, knowledge, natural, illusion, healing and psychic. Physical magic deals with manipulating the forms of matter and energy, essentially allowing them to make the laws of physics their bitch. In D&D terms, they’re sorcerers. Their magic interacts with the world at a subatomic level. Knowledge has a toe dipped in each pool of magic, they are drawn body and mind to magic. Knowledge disciples are scholars, they study magic in all its forms. In D&D terms, they’re wizards. Natural is pretty straight forward, it’s nature magic. They’re the druids of the school. Illusion is also straight forward, they create various illusions that can trick all five senses. Healing disciples are sort of your clerics, their magic heals body, mind, and soul. And lastly you have your psychics, they deal with the mind.
