Expressions to Categories

AX.C.08.03.04

The following table illustrates how to map the three universal categories to more common expressions of extra-normal powers.

Previous Label Maps To Notes
Arcane Magic Force Core label retained; sub-types (Ritual, Artifice, Alchemy, Runecraft) are Discipline labels within a Force Tradition
Faith Magic Resonance Core label retained; faith expression of Resonance Tradition
Syonic Powers Resonance (perception/influence) + Force (telekinesis/pyrokinesis) Syonic is a delivery method, not a category, telekinesis is Force, telepathy is Resonance. Genre Catalogs should split Syonic power lists accordingly
Technomancy Force (primary) + Resonance (Network Presence, Signal-Read) Already defined in IL as Harmonic Tradition; core label is Force
Chaos/Unbound Magic Force Sub-type of Arcane/Force, wild or unstabilized Force output. Genre Catalog territory for Fantasy settings
Celestial/Infernal Magic Force (combat/smite) + Resonance (aura/divination) + Form (planar biology) Genre-specific fantasy category, belongs in Fantasy Genre Catalog, not universal core
