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 |
