So Vita, correct me if I'm wrong. Theurgy, at it's most basic, would merely consist of writing down the appropriate symbols/words as well as a magic circle (or is the circle optional depending on what's being written?) on a surface while running your mana through it, and activating it by running your mana through it again.
1. Am I missing anything in that other than the fact that more advanced Theurgy would require more ritual components?
2. Do Ofuda use roughly the same process? I assume so, but it always helps to ask.
3. Can I use any old means of inscribing the inscription so long as it's manual? Like a pencil vs a carving, or blood vs ink.
4. Is the Affinity of "Writing" acceptable? The way I interpreted it would relate to Communication, Contract, and Information, if that helps/clarifies anything.
5. Would it be possible to forgo the most-if-not-all ritual aspects and just improvise Theurgy on the fly? And by that I mean something like inscribing a few runes down on the ground as you're bleeding out in a pool of your own blood, or painting one on your face for a quick boost in vision.

Sounds fine to me! Which leads me to happiness that it didn't take long to have someone who wouldn't mind me coming along. ;w;
Well I aim to please 'n' all.
EDIT: But yeah, if you wanna fire off a PM or something feel free. I don't bite.

Okay, pretty sleepy right now but I'll try to answer questions really quick.You can pre-prepare stuff but not by printing.
Alright, thanks. Have a nice rest.
...Well I need a reason for my character to get involved in the supernatural world in the first place (he's a 17-year old rookie-first-gen-mage/hacker, for reference) so why the hell not? Assuming you're willing to partner up with the loser I have planned.
Also, VitaVitaAR! Am I allowed to pre-prepare runes and other written magic for future use? Or print them out using a printer? Or at least bring a stamp that inscribes magic circles and then use a ballpoint pen full of blood to jot down the appropriate inscription?

Oh right, forgot to ask. Do runes fall under written magic as well? And is there anything in the writing process that makes written magic magical rather than just writing down words/symbols that are just scrawlings on a paper?
EDIT: Also would it be possible to prepare documents with spells on them beforehand?

VitaVitaAR said purely going off of written magic is called Theurgy and is generally done to supplement magi with low levels of low-quality mana.
Oh that's absolutely perfect for what I'm going for.
Ah, okay. I was gonna go for something like an affinity of Direction - which, now that I look through the CSs, I probably won't do considering the agents of force we already have present - or something concerning specialization in Familiar crafting or written magic. Really it was the former I was concerned about.
Currently tossing about ideas in my head for affinities, but are there any personal restrictions you have regarding magical affinities other than the not man-made bit?

Still thinking about the spambot.
