Thaumaturgy

    One crucial difference in Thaumaturgy between 2dn Edition and Version Three is it's dependence on external sources of power which is what allows it to be accessible to mortals. Exalted and other supernaturals cannot circumvent this restriction. Thaumaturgy depends on use of esoteric materials and objects. Powering magic through inner Essence is called sorcery. Unlike sorcery it's effectiveness is somewhat limited and cannot perform totally supernatural feats, although it is significantly realty bending, being able to restore the dead to life under carefully controlled circumstances.
    On the material requirements for Thaumaturgy mere resources are not an accurate indication of the objects needed to perform a ritual. Objects for a ritual are often very specific and may even be unique requiring a small quest to acquire them (such as the Heart of Dambala in Bride of Chucky.)

Meta Existence

    How can anything be greater than perfection? Be more expansive than limitlessness? The Primordials were such things. Their transcendental Essence allowed them to be so. But they could also not be less. As mighty as the Incarnae were, the Exalted were made to do things they could not. The Warstriders, especially Royal Warstriders, may be something more than as simple and almost vulgar as a means to might, but a way of entering Yu-Shan, confronting the Primordials and striking them down. Creation was too confined for beings that werre greater than existence itself. No mortal mind, not even a god's, could fathom the Essence of the Primordials. The Unconquered Sun was the apogee of existence but even he was limited by the constraints of reality. He was made to be master of the world but could not understand the things that lay beyond it. The Primordials desired a place where they could exist outside the Wyld and in Yu-Shan they created it. Protected by the planes of Creation, beings of such power they exceeded the concept of size could exist in safety. Yu-Shan, like it's creators, is a realm greater than any mortal mind's ability to fathom. As such it is maddening as the mind constantly warps in an attempt to understand it's surroundings. Only the sleeping mind of Luna could understand such a place for she sees nothing except in her dreams.

   Note: The idea of Luna never being awake is not very good. The Unconquered Sun rules Creation during the day. When Luna sleeps and night falls that powers becomes hers.

The Savage Lands

    Life in the Savage Lands is often difficult and quite frequently perilous. The four regions around the Blessed Isle were designed to be lethal to invading Fair Folk, the Elementals had the power to command their surrounding and use them as a weapon. Demesnes attract powerful supernatural creatures that make the realms all the more dangerous.

    A Note on Elemental Power
    The four elemental Crafts (excluding Earth) were used by Elementals, and the Elemental Dragons, not to build objects the way people use Craft (this may require some reworking of the definition of Craft) but to control the element they lived in and use it against the Fair Folk.

Artefact Weapons

    Weapons made from the five magical materials don't just cut objects but cut Essence itself since they are made of Essence.
