= Synopsis

'''Formulaic magic''' is based on [[spell]]s that are learned or developed before the [[spell]] is cast. Unless the restrictions are softened by [[Hermetic Virtue]]s, Formulaic magic can only be used in exactly one way, but allows for much higher [[Casting Total]]s than [[Spontaneous magic]].

The [[Casting total]] for Formulaic [[spell]]s is

{{p|center|[[Technique]] + [[Form]] + [[Stamina]] + [[Aura]] + [[Stress die]]}}
