--- Quote from: Rechan on February 05, 2010, 06:18:17 AM ---My question is: do you have to go through a lot of rigmarole to cast a simple Thamutergy spell like Harry's tracking spell, or the old "Make a magic circle" trick?

For low-complexity thaumaturgies, you can do a "quick and dirty" fast-cast variety that's not as much of a hoop-jump, as I recall.
--- Quote ---Second question: Are there any magical tricks that even mundane mortals can do? (Like the above mentioned Circle; Butters used this trick pretty easily in Dead Beat).

There's a common ritual thing that mortals can do (though that's usually bad when it works), and symbols will still have some potency even if the mundane isn't magically talented, the same way that a cross in the hands of a normal dude might ward off evil if the dude has some actual faith in the symbol's power.
Rechan:
Are there a few examples of good Mental tasks? That's one area I have trouble thinking of good examples of. And in some cases, it's tough to understand where Social and Mental tasks differ in practice.

Spellcasting. Certain other powers use. Resisting psychological torture. Concentration

Heh. We've got a big section that talks about 'em. I'd rather not paraphrase on this one.
