   Below you will find summaries for the various forms of unnatural power known to the world.

Sorcery.

Sorceries are a stressor of the soul, awakening it to the expression of magic. By drawing in Aether from the Aetherium using their soul as a conduit, a mage is capable of creating miracles at the risk of unraveling their mind, body, and spirit. See Sorcery

The Blighted.

The Blighted are afflicted with a sorcery of dark power and amoral hunger. See Blights.

Dominion.

Dominion is the term for power gleaned through a sheer force of will. Those who wield Dominion form pacts with powerful beings, or else summon lesser entities to them. They may even possess profound psionic power, or hold sway over a deathly state of being - Poetics. See Dominion.

Glamour.

Glamour is the ability to manifest unnatural power by channeling life force - Saol - through arcane-adapted biology. Some races including the Faefolk and Draconidae are born with the biology necessary to cultivate it. Magical creatures sometimes wield minor forms of Glamour to terrifying effect. See Glamour.

Practices.

Practices are a form of scientific magic derived from the world around the mage, using planar Alkahest or the strange laws of reality to manufacture Artifacts and bend the universe to their desire. What a Practice can do is theoretically without limitation, provided the necessary materials are on hand. See Practices.
