So it's filed under "add to the list"?
Sanctaphrax:
Yep.

Maybe needs a better Extra Benefit. Suggestions? A Scholarship bonus with math seems possible, but not that interesting.
MATHEMAGIC [-4]
Description: You wield magic derived from a surpassing comprehension of mathematics. Or perhaps the mathematical underpinnings of the universe favor you.
Musts: You must have extensive knowledge of mathematics, through a high Scholarship score and/or stunt.
Sponsor: The mathematical underpinnings of reality and physics: fundamental constants like e, pi, the speed of light in vacuum, and the fine-structure constant; the basic operations of mathematics.
Agenda: To discover, accumulate and preserve mathematical and physical knowledge. Mathemagicians often become obsessive scholars.
Evocation: Mathemagical evocation manipulates probability, dimension, and direction. Probability effects manifest as bizarre flukes of chance; someone sneezes at exactly the right moment to throw off his aim, trips while standing still, is stung by a convenient wasp, and so on. On the more offensive end, someone might suffer a heart attack during combat despite no previous history of problems, or a Red Court vampire might accidentally rip open its own blood storage by fumbling with its claws. Dimension/direction manipulation can cause bullet paths to bend, melee blows to be unable to reach their targets, and so on.
Thaumaturgy: Mathemagical thaumaturgy can provide the effects of entropomancy, as well as equivalent but opposite good-luck effects, via probability manipulation. It can also produce transportation and worldwalking effects.
Evothaum: Entropomancy and good-luck effects can be used with evocation's methods and speed.
Extra Benefits: So many things can go wrong with a spell. Gain a +1 power and control bonus on counterspells using Mathemagics.
Sanctaphrax:
I'd go with something that moves trappings between Scholarship and Lore. Either casting with Scholarship or doing math with Lore. Because having to buy up Scholarship as well as casting skills would be a real pain in the neck.
Both possible bonuses seem kind of small, though, so I'd probably throw in another small extra benefit.
