Here's an example from a series I like: This could be a system I'd make if you suggested jewellery and batteries.
Give me 2 unrelated concepts, and I'll make a *shitty* magic system out of them.

I don't know why I expected anything but straight-up shitposts.
People named "Dick" may steal penises from the bodies of other people named Dick (Through mundane means, physically removing them from the other Dick and surgically attaching them to himself). By doing so, they gain all of their victim's physical and mental strength.

The magic system is only accessible to people named Dick. "Richard" does not count.

Literally just staple lead onto the example I gave: Let people store authority in lead.
It's a system that uses runes to determine what it does, with the restriction that the runes have to be formed out of string cheese. By forming a rune, whatever item is placed on top of it is transformed into a small token that can be converted back whenever the user wants it to. Different runes have different side effects that modify the item when it's returned, from changing how large it is to recoloring it to making it as hot as the sun (using this one is generally considered a bad idea).
As an inborn genealogical trait, certain people are able to manipulate the density of their cum. This is virtually unrestricted; it can go anywhere from the density of plutonium to air. This does not change the mass of the cum. There is no range limit, though people can only resize their own cum.
This is a setting, not a magic system.

Ping-pong is a smaller, shittier version of tennis. Let's define "Quality" as a trait embedded in the laws of the universe. There exist rituals that allow users to manipulate the Quality of objects; ex. A durable rubber ball with reduced Quality becomes light plastic, or with increased Quality it becomes a baseball.
The magic is powered by the user's own body, so practitioners who use this for anything large-scale have to about 10,000 calories each day to avoid dying from malnutrition.
Chris has done a far superior job with this system than anything I could ever think of.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "Unrelated."
For your second one: Each person has a "True Name" (Actually a random string of characters) associated with their online profiles (true names are associated with profiles, not people). By figuring out someone's true name, you instantly learn everything there is to know about the profile. This means, if they're putting on a character while posting, the person who discovered their true name only learns about the character, not the actual user.
This is a system based around alchemy. Potions are used as topical oils. The intended use is to manipulate the user's genetic structure, for example, giving yourself rabbit legs to jump higher. Fucking up gives the user cancer.
Only usable by dogs, being submerged in certain chemicals allow the dogs to give off light. The chemicals each make the dogs give off light as if the chemical was burned normally, and the denser the chemical, the brighter the light. Power from this system can be stored indefinitely and used at will.
Sorry, I've been taking about 10 seconds for each one of these. A better answer for your first one is "As an inborn trait, certain people (all female) are capable of animating specially prepared lead figurines by speaking to them. Each one fulfills the given command as best it can, then deanimates. Each figurine may be used indefinitely. You can command figurines to command other figurines, thereby making them 'leaders.'"

I dub this fucking useless system "Mullomancy." By ritually sacrificing any non-human animal in a circle of mullet hair, every member of it's bloodline instantly grows a mullet. These mullets can not be removed by any means; Attempting to shave them regrows the mullet instantaneously. This curse also affects all decedents of the creatures you have en-mulleted, until the end of time.
By imbibing copious amounts of alcohol, practitioners of this system can find music videos entertaining. Should a practitioner survive watching shitty 1980's music videos for 24 hours straight without passing out, vomiting, or using the restroom, they gain one use of the following ability: Force everyone within 100 feet of himself to perform an improvised music video (The user does not need to participate). This can not be resisted, though the victims have no idea what to do and no coordination; they simply perform to the best of their abilities.
