Magma: I think you can jury-rig a good number of appropriate spells if you take acid spells and change the damage type to fire. Take for instance Acid Arrow , if you rename it Magma Bolt and change the energy type to fire, it makes a decent magma spell. Spells like Acid Fog obviously don't work, but the alternate sources have a large number of acid spells that would probably work with similar adjustments. Silt: Part of the problem here is that Silt is Athas specific, and even if you increase the parameters to include "dust" there isn't a lot of stuff available. You can additionally expand to darkness/obscuring effects, though they require a bit of adjusting as well. Most darkness or shadow spells are illusions, while that doesn't work for Silt spells. Conjuration would probably be a better school. It also still leaves you without a lot of variety. There's also the potential for a decay aspect here, though withering decay seems more appropriate that rotting decay.
