The scope of Thematic Thamaturgy

Since Veils can bend light to hide things, which light is just part of the electromagnetic spectrum... I could see someone using Earth instead of Spirit to make a Veil

Right, but that's the point at which it feels like you're having to stretch your thinking. (Or maybe it's the other way around -- you're a Magnetomancer, but that means that actually moving earth around is harder for you to conceptualize.)
The way I'd do an earth veil would involve more like "become one with the ground". :)
Mal_Luck:
Magnetomancer, I like that. I just noticed more things I was doing had to do with electromagnetism/lightning than the Earth itself.
Cajun Guy:
I think shadowmancy would be cool and fit the cannon stories. Also some kind of beastmaster (don't know a good term) type powers. imagine being able to call a large swarm of rats or roaches on someone. It could be a summoning , control type but focused on animals instead of spirits or demons. I imagine in the city roaches would make great spies and they taste like chicken too. ;)

The Codex:
A quick question on thsi idea could a Picturamancey work? Pictura is Latin for Painting)
Basic theroy would be the character paints a picture of the effect he would like to happening. Then when he wants the effect to happen like a potion) or on completion of the painting/spelling he invests so of this will and, shazam.....
Would this work as a thematic idea?
Could I have Focus items of paint brushes.....
iago:
I love that as an idea for a style of Thaumaturgic ritual, but I'm not 100% sure if I see the limits on it -- putting together a thaumaturgic ritual is a slow effort anyway, and painting might just be one method of that.
