Thaumaturgey

Thaumaturgey is the art art of manipulating matter. It involves a connection with the Peripherals and Epochers, having them bend to the will of the caster. Because of this, casters typically speak plans and exacts as they have no direct control over the natural world but instead tell the Peripherals or tell Epochers that tell Peripherals what to do. This requires a very large understanding the the Primal Elements that make up the world. There are 12 and they correspond to the 12 constellations with 3 dominating each season. Their associations with the constellations are as follows pictured to the right.

These Primal Elements and their relations and interactions is the basis for Thaumaturgey and because of their influences from the constellations and other solar bodies, the lack of understanding about Astronomy has hindered many would be great casters from their full potential.

This lack of information has lead to many casters spending their time out of cities and by themselves for long periods of time. Regularly, a caster will devote years of their lives to studying the sky in order to gain small fragments of knowledge.

Casters typically live in small stone estates about a days walk from the nearest town, their home is little more than a single room accompanied by a tall narrow tower that reaches above the tree line.
