==Tractii Magia== 
(sing. Tractus Magia)
Though the Imperial theory of magic was created and developed from about 100 B.E. To 50 A.D., many wizards have worked to extend it.  The Imperial theory has been comprehensive enough to subsume many of these extensions (or tractii, as they are called), but others remain outstanding.  As a result, the Imperial theory is inarguably incomplete, and will remain so until a complete revision of the art as it is known is completed.
	
Tractii are supplemental fields of study available to the Imperial wizard.  Casting a spell always requires at least one level in the correct scientia; one cannot cast a spell with a tractus alone.  A wizard usually only studies the basics of a tractus; having a tractus (of any level) that is relevant to the spell being cast grants a +1.  (Only one tractus can be used to get a +1 bonus with a specific spell, though other effects do combine.)  At higher levels, many tractii have other implications for the spellcaster, but being underdeveloped branches of knowledge the consequences of further study aren't clear.

'''Elicio:  '''
The art of conjuration, bringing forth something from another world or the imagination.  

'''Creo:  '''
The study of raw creation of matter from nothing.  With Creo, raw materials may be produced permanently without the use of static thauma.  

'''Intellego:  '''
The tractus of understanding and awareness; deals with creating new senses or comprehension.

'''Augurio:  '''
Divination – the production of knowledge from nothing, or where knowledge would not be possible.

'''Adduco:  '''
The study of visible physical movement. Does not cover teleportation, which is part of Elicio.

'''Transfiguro:  '''
The art of changing the shape of something.

'''Muto:  '''
Mutation; changing the substance of something into another substance.

'''Perdo:  '''
Raw destruction or disintegration of a thing, or a property of that thing.

'''Aether:  '''
The study of the ether and dreams.  Overlaps with Mentem, but Mentem is inadequate for many spells that deal directly with the ether.

'''Animus Spiritus:  '''
The study of the soul.  This tractus is very limited, as the soul is impossible to change, but it is absolutely necessary to deal with the soul directly.

'''Mortalis:  '''
The art of death, not just of the body, but of the metaphysical process itself.

'''Thaumatropia:  '''
The art of introducing entropy into magic, or of destroying meaning.  Enhances counterspells.

'''Perpator:  '''
The study of making a spell endure with or without static thauma.  Knowing Perpator reduces the difficulty of making a spell permanent by 1, and can thus be combined with other tractii.
