THAUMATURGY
Thaumaturgy is a term I use to define the collection of spells that I have learned over time. Put quite simply, Thaumaturgy
borrows and steals a bit from each of the other magic’s, choosing the clear path of chaos rather than becoming too well defined and stagnant. Much like Sorcerers, I enchant items with the power of reagents and the mind.
Any Thaumaturge who knows the business may craft spells, scrolls, potions or various other implements of magic. There is almost nothing that I cannot do through the use of this form of magic, as it does not confine itself to a style.
In Thaumaturgy, the foci are the actual spell that contains the formulae and references to the reagents required for the spell. In addition, enchanted scrolls that require no other components can also be used to cast spells. Most of the spells from the other forms of magic can be distilled to their basic and put into the scrolls and books as well – by a Thaumaturge.

Following is a detailed analysis of the styles of spell crafting that I have been able to observe "Necromancy, the ritual of death; "Tempestry, the power of the water and storms; "Theurgy, the discipline of attuning the spirits; "Sorcery, the craft of destruction; "Thaumaturgy, what I call my personal study of magic.
