AD  ASTRA

PRIMALS:
        Wyck -- As with all Primal mages, the Wyck tend to work solely in the Middle World, the Umbra.  They work mainly in the Penumbra, especially the Penumbral reflections of wilderness areas, and deal often with the spirits known as Naturae.  They rarely venture into the Near Umbra unless traveling to a Realm or using the Umbra as a byway.
        Shamans -- The Shamans deal with all forms of the Umbra, including the Deep Umbra and even the Astral, since this is their specialty.  The Penumbra is like a second home to them, and they are generally well-respected by all kinds of spirits; they take their spiritual reputations very seriously.
        Ecstatics -- The Ecstatics often seek to shift their perceptions to the Umbra or Astra (both equally), seeking to transcend the perceptions of mundane reality; many wise ecstatics, however, advise that transcendence lies not in seeking new sights but in seeing old things in new ways, which is the better use of spirit-sight.  Some ecstatics seek to travel the many worlds, or even to delve into the Deep Umbra, but since this tradition of magick provides little structure or discipline, they rarely return.

HOLY ONES:
        Choristers -- Singers of the rigidly-structured Celestial Chorus are only allowed to work with the Astra, believing the Umbra to be dangerous and corrupted.  They mainly seek to summon angelics and banish demonics, or seek communion with Paradisical and Utopian Realms and their inhabitants.  See WoD: Angels.
        Others -- Other Holy Ones work much more with the Umbra, and often deal with Incarnae and Totems, summoning them (or their Jaggling servants, usually) and communing with them, serving them for spirit-boons.  These mages are intensely devoted to spirits and the High and Low Worlds, and sometimes work their effects only with the Spirit-sphere.

CEREMONIALISTS:
        Hermetics -- Members of the order of Hermes are infamous for their domineering and arrogant ways with spirits.  They work almost solely with the Astra, and mostly concern themselves with summoning and binding elementals and lesser Umbrood to serve them, as well as politicking among the Courts of the Spires.  They also work to create Horizon Realms, bending and shaping the Astra and Umbra to their own wills and praxes.
        Orientals -- The Oriental ceremonialists work mostly with the summoning of, and bargaining with, Triatic spirits (Dragon, Tiger, Phoenix), and politicking with the Umbrood of the Celestial Courts.  They also sometimes summon their ancestors to speak with them.
        Others --

TECHNOMANCERS:
        Unionists -- Unionists deny the existance of any spiritual realm, and seek to destroy the spirit worlds entirely.  They do have Horizon Realms, which they refer to as "dimensional pockets" or "top-secret facilities".  They have redefined Spirit magick to such an extent that it has become a functionally seperate Sphere, "Dimensional Science".  The only Unionists to use the "old fashioned" Spirit-magick are a limited number of the members of the Syndicate, strangely enough; some think this hints at a dark and primal truth behind the money-mages' slick facades.  The cyborg-mages are the most violently opposed to any Spirit-workings, even finding Dimensional Science distasteful, and thus relying on their allies among the Void Engineers; cyborg-mages cannot even comprehend related concepts.
        TechnoRebels -- The Technorebels tend to think of the spirit-realms as other dimensions, mispercieved by the antiquated mysticks, but not given enough of a chance by the Unionists.  The etherites hold the extreme of this view, with the cybermancers preferring to work in their digital realities, which are in fact Astral Realms and Zones.

ORPHANS -- Those few orphans that know of and work with spirit-magicks tend to work with the Umbra, and occasionally even the Lands of the Dead.  Many of these perform summonings they are not powerful enough or wise enough to manage well, and are thus killed or enslaved in the process.
