Oh, yes, variable magic systems in different areas is interesting.
The books Graceling and its "sequels" did that, though there it actually felt more mushed-together than really a solid combined system. It would be interesting to try and have the magic have a same basic grounding, but very different applications to it.
Of course, then you'd also have the question, is there something preventing people from using another system? Maybe each one "cuts" a kind of groove in the brain while using, and thus a user of one system becomes incompatible with the others (until you find people who manage to cross over, of course...).

I also get hung up on terminology sometimes. I've seen stuff that is written 100% in a different "dialect", which is so exhausting on one hand, but on the other hand it's probably the most 'authentic' telling of a different culture...
