Should the flavors of Functional Magic have their own trope pages?

Functional Magic currently encompasses Inherent Magic, Rule Magic, Magic Music, Alchemy, Force Magic, Device Magic, Theurgy, and Wild Magic as types of functional magic. Some of those tropes have their own pages, but the ones that don't, like Theurgy, are walls of text full of clarifying examples and related tropes. The blurb for Magic Music itself states that it's a sub-trope of Rule Magic, in which case shouldn't Rule Magic just have its own page instead of extending Functional Magic any further? There are also so many types of magic that the page image doesn't really represent Functional Magic as it is now.

Sub-tropes with their own page like Alchemy is Magic specify that they are sub-tropes of Functional Magic, so this could be the case with all the new pages.

All appropriate examples would have to be moved to their corresponding new pages or given a spot in the new page.

Thoughts?
