Thaumaturgy

   Class: Magickal Skills
   Attribute: Willpower
   Pedagogy: Procedural
   Specialty Required: Degree II
   Hidden Skill

The discipline of working magick using quintessence, the primal energy of the universe. This is done in a style similar to the more ordinary working of magick using mana, but quintessence is a tremendously more powerful medium, dangerous for mortals to even come into contact with. The difference between thaumaturgy and theurgy, the other skill for working with quintessence, is that thaumaturgy is conducted essentially on one's own, where theurgy works with the mediation of divine forces. In this way, thaumaturgy and theurgy correspond very roughly to evocation and invocation, respectively.

Development Information: The thaumaturgy skill was created by Chaos; the source code was last updated Wed Jan 31 04:34:13 2007.
