SoF Exalted/Mortal Thaumaturgy
The collection of magical schools referred to as Thaumaturgy do not use Essence (usually), but natural laws and pacts to achieve amazing things. It takes longer...
Requirements
The base Power for all Thaumaturgy is Ritual Power, representing a slower, more process-driven means of eliciting effects than the reality-breaking Essence manipulation of the Awakened and Exalted. Because all the schools use existing Abilities as their Affinity, the total Ritual Power package costs 1AP more.
Schools
Each school of Thaumaturgy is a different field of learning, and thus requires it's own Power Aspect. They also use different Affinity Abilities, which are listed with them. Each has a collection of Powers which are accessible through that school.
