Editing 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.

-The collection of magical schools referred to as Thaumaturgy do not use Essence (usually), but natural laws and pacts to achieve amazing things. While this is slower and more narrowly focused than the Essence-using magics of the Exalted, the use of natural laws means that it can sometimes achieve effects which more tightly bind the actions of powerful beings.

Anyone wishing to use Thaumaturgy purchases the Ritual Power Advantage, which grants them 5 "ritual points" for every AP spent on it with which to purchase other Powers.

-While all Thaumaturges can use the General Formulas school, most are otherwise focused on one other school as their primary one. Very few have the dedication and skill to master multiple schools.
-All uses of Craft Power Item with Thaumaturgy are capped at Potency 4. Anything with a greater Potency requires Sorcery, which is beyond the ken of un-Awakened mortals.
-Note that mortals without an Awakened Essence may only purchase the Delayed Power modifier.
