Baby Mage

In a world where a child possessing magic could be born to anyone, trained mage agents have to find them and bring them to a special facility where they can learn to harness their powers before they accidentally blow someone up. Most children gain use of their powers gradually and don't reach full potential until their teens, so the agents are usually tipped off before something big happens.

The MC, on the other hand, suddenly gains all of his/her magic at the age of three. The next time s/he throws a typical toddler tantrum, s/he ends up burning her house down with her parents still inside. S/he's still too young to understand what happened, and thinks the reason why everyone looks at her all weird when the agents take her to the facility is that s/he's the youngest person there. All the people there are old enough to realize that the truth would destroy him/her, and decide not to tell.

She grows up a friendly, normal person.

And then someone, trying to be mean, finally tells him/her. The results are not pretty.

A story about the first boy to be admitted into a magical academy - normally only women have strong enough powers, and men have little if any.

magic school, tech school, religious school

In the 21st century, an old-school (four elements) mage and a techno-mage (uses computers, etc.) start rival schools. Both work very hard to recruit the best and brightest kids (and the richest donors) for their schools, and both try to keep the public at large from learning of their existence.

Then they are joined by a third school, a school of religious magic...

Hero School, Villain School

A parody of the superhero story. In this world there are quite a few people born with powers, and there are schools to accomodate these people. Villains go to villain school, heroes to hero school, and sidekicks to sidekick school, where they learn all of the techniques they need to do their job.

The only problem is, the schools teach ridiculously over-cliche and dramatic techniques that always seem to result in the same epic battle with the villain making the same mistakes and losing. The way I imagined it, the MC1's parents forced her to go to hero school even though she didn't want anything to do with the whole hero business because they're such quacks. MC2 wanted to be a hero more than anything but only got into sidekick school, due to his powers being less than spectacular. Both are upset, and wind up being assigned to one another as part of a school program to create teams early.

MC3, the villain, is an actual genius and realizes what idiots the villains are for always making the same mistakes. Properly equipped with the Evil Overlord list, he starts to break all of the established rules and cause real trouble. The heroes, faced with a real threat from a cunning adversary, start to panic. MC1 and MC2, as two of the only halfway normal people on the hero side, are the only ones who might be able to stop him.
