Hermetic Magic is a magical tradition based on the premise that magic is a predictable force that can be measured and controlled. The most common path of hermetic magic studied in the UCAS and its neighbors is Renewed Hermeticism, but several other views of magic, called magical paradigms, also practice the Hermetic tradition. Hermetics often apply scientific or pseudo-scientific theories to their magic, and often place a heavy emphasis on formulae, precise rituals, and academic principles. While magicians of other traditions often have a more personalized relationship with how they perform their magic, Hermetics often have a sort of scientific detachment, seeing magic more as a tool rather than a lifestyle and an art. Hermetic magicians can summon elementals, and use hermetic ritual circl
