Sanctaphrax:
I think the Common Ritual trapping of Lore is more suited to Thomas than the Ritual Power, personally.
A Power is supposed to be a meaningful part of your character concept. Spellcasting isn't, for Thomas.

Except for the whole 'his mother was a Wizard' thing. Also, he does a tracking spell that works exactly as Harry's does (and mentions having some other low-key capabilities in his area). That's pretty clearly something more than Common Ritual.
Sanctaphrax:
His mom being a wizard is part of his concept, but actually casting spells is a minor side note at best for him.
And a common ritual can work the same way as a normal spell. Really, the little "I'm not a real spellcaster but I know a few tricks" speech he gives sounded like a perfect way to describe using Common Rituals to me.
vultur:
I think it's definitely more than Common Rituals. Common Rituals are incredibly rare (working ones, anyway) and are powered by some 'other' source (like a sponsor).
I agree it's kind of marginal to the character concept, but Thomas definitely does have some true spellcasting ability - his description of it in Backup makes that clear. I'd put him on the 'Kim Delaney' / 'hedge wizard' level maybe - its insignificance to him is because he has to worry about being a White Court vampire, not because it's next-to-nonexistent.
Mr. Death:
Thomas doesn't know how to do rituals. He knows how to do a "Find Harry" spell. Yes, his knowledge is that specific, as he describes it. That's not worth two refresh, for something we've seen him do all of once, and had to be thoroughly coached not to completely bollocks it up.
