Sponsored Magic Master List
vultur:
OK, cool.
Also, did my versions of Fomor Magic and Outsider Magic ever end up here?
New Version:
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: You understand magic through the lens of mathematics. Use Scholarship instead of Lore for arcane research and all spellcasting purposes (thaumaturgy, enchanted items, Refinement cap...)
Sanctaphrax:
Looks good.
Fomor Magic is in the first post and on the list, but Outsider Magic seems to have fallen through the cracks. If you tell me where to find it, I'll add it to the list.
Mr. Death:
I think maybe he means this one: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,38894.msg1913681.html#msg1913681

--- Quote from: vultur on August 15, 2013, 03:38:08 AM ---I posted this on the "Outsider Stats" thread on the GS/CD spoiler board, but here's my version --
Outsider Magic
Description: Drawing upon the power of the Outside (or a powerful Outsider patron), you're able to cast spells that destroy, distort, ruin, or harm aspects of reality (time, space, energy or matter) and induce fear, despair, and horror.
Cost: 4 refresh, 3 if you have Evocation or Thaumaturgy, 2 if you have both. You also need to either be an Outsider, or have an Outsider patron.
Benefits: Standard sponsored magic benefits.
Evocation - Outsider magic may be used as an element for evocation; when used this way, it produces effects similar to the entropy aspect of water evocation, and can also produce veils (as per spirit evocation). Outsider evocation effects are always obviously and profoundly weird, warping and twisting aspects of reality.
Thaumaturgy - Outsider magic can produce the effects of entropomancy, as well as psychomancy and transportation/worldwalking effects appropriate to the themes of this magic (psychomancy cannot produce beneficial or calming effects, transportation creates teleport effects, etc). It also may produce limited chronomantic effects.
Evothaum - Outsider magic can produce Outsider-appropriate psychomancy effects with evocation's methods and speed.
Other Benefits - Outsider magic provides a +1 power bonus on evocations (not evothaum) which directly cause destruction or harm.

Extra benefit seems a little weak. Hellfire boosts complexity too.
But other than that it looks fine. I'll add it to the list next update.
vultur:
Yeah, it should probably have the same extra benefit as Hellfire. I think that's probably what I had in mind (given that OW says to use the stats for Hellfire for Outsider Magic), I likely just messed it up.
