Okay, I'm working on a setting where the main mystical forces are Order and Chaos, with neither being fully good or evil, what are some settings that do this well besides Moorcock's stuff? Especially in terms of the magic, someone mentioned Saga of Recluse to me, but not much in the way of details. The Chalion books were also mentioned.

For the magic, I was thinking that Order magic would work mainly within and strengthening the laws of the universe, like healing magic restoring the subject to a "previous order" as it were, creating new tissue to replace anything missing, while Chaos magic works by twisting and breaking the normal rules outright for the desired effect instead of bending them, like healing by causing flesh to twist and regrow in unnatural ways much faster than the body could do it. I could use some more help coming up with more examples like this, along with things each type of magic could do better than the other. For instance, perhaps Order magic is less skilled at destroying things than Chaos is? What do you think?
