Those were examples - before we go any further, what should somatic components look like? Dancing? Punching the air? Hand signs? Maybe each motion has multiple versions of varying complexity, or it depends on class.

I can't shake the image of a wizard's college looking a lot like a kinect party featuring Dance Central.  "Next you will all hear from Archmage Gates, than you will practice you somatic components in the form of dance battles."
Better, wizard duels.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
