Wait... Xavier up in this *****?, AND I can be a universal Magneto to?, well that's just not giving anybody else a chance is it?, I'LL BE UNSTOPPABLE. I'll be rich within the week, and rule the planet within a year!.
Restoration, because I'd feel guilty picking anything else.
On that note, it's just occurred to me that restoration focused characters are always presented as self-sacrificing goodies. The evil potential of restoration is definatinately going untapped.
What's that necromancer? You get to live forever as a lich? Oh, well I've just cured ageing.. let me know how that lich thing works out.
What's that noble hero, you've just found out you've got terminal cancer? Oh, that's terrible, but I can certainly help you out. Step into my office, we're just going to need to go over a few conditions first..
..and failing all that, I just invented magical surgery. I think it's time for your heart transplant!

I've always been a Telekinesis type gal, myself. It could do lots of damage (high velocity projectiles, throwing people across rooms, et cetera), but it could also be a slightly slower form of teleportation (just telekinesis yourself at high speeds, and then... boom. You're there. Quick and easy transportation).
One of the coolest styles of magic is INFERNOMANCY. In infernomancy the mage sells their soul to one of the many demon lords of hell (or a lower level minion if you are a weak mage) and you get powers related to that demon lord. So if you sold your soul to the demon lord of poison you can poison your enemies directly, poison their land or poison their mind. And you get general strength and speed boost. The demon lord in turn gets to use the mage's soul as a way to power their lower level minions (so if said low level demons are killed the mage gets hurt), use the mage for missions and to power their own spells. I think that if a mage gains more power they can sell their soul upwards to the next level of demons (so you sell your soul to a low level demon, and can then later sell it to the boss of the low level demon if the mage becomes more powerful).
So the end result is a bunch of mages running around fighting demon lords, low level demons and selling souls for power.
Sadly Dominic-Deegan.com (the only place where I have heard of this) decided to kill off that little bit of badass magic after the major story arc involving it. Though to be fair The Last Infernomancer still is present.

Restoration, Teleportation or Illusion. I'd choose via dice roll, since its too hard for me to choose myself.
Illusion. I will take your cookies and your women while you have a conversation with what you believe to be a very intriguing talking rooster who promises to sell you opium.
I'd go with restoration my self.
Also wouldnt Telekenises and Teleportation be more counted as spells instead of schools of magic. Otherwise we could have a school of fireballs aswell.
Going for some old school D&D schools of magic here.
School of:
Abjuration, Alteration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion and Necromancy.
Think you have about 2 - 3 of those in your list but by differnt names.

I took telaportation. I love the idea of being a thief with a level of mage (telaport, back stab, loot, wash-rinse-repeat).
You forget transformations and summoning.

...>:[ Where is the good ol' school of Prestidigitation? If not that, then can I at least have Chronomancy or something? Yeah, Time Mages in Final Fantasy are kinda limited in the "kill you" department, but I was talking about time magic with greater range than what is presented...
charles Xavier was telepathic, not telekenitic, but if telepathic was an option id go for that but as it isnt id go for restoration, i dont want to hurt people and i want to become a doctor (bow-ties are cool)
