Thaumaturge

Thaumaturges study the fundamental nature of the Omniverse: matter, essence, and quintessence. Somewhere between priest and an engineer, thaumaturges preserve the knowledge of the past. While the practice of thaumaturgy is the same worldwide, there are two differing approaches to thaumaturgy practiced by the Dracartans and the Phantasians. For the Dracartans, thaumaturgy is akin to a religious practice for they believe that its secrets were imparted to them by their silent god, Jamba. The Phantasians, on the other hand, preserve the knowledge of their ancestors and long to recreate past glories and discoveries. In either case, thaumaturges are capable of distilling the very essences of the universe, transmuting matter, and creating wondrous substances.

Each time this Path is followed the character ages 7 years.
