Cartographer

Collecting worlds and using them.

DragonSlayer

Exists at the axis of tools and divine. As mentioned previously one typically needs the help of a deity to slay a dragon.<ref>“No,” she said.  Her voice dropped to be even quieter, as we approached the end of the street.  “There’s another way.  Most are violent, killing machines.  So… if you’re brave enough, you can try the conventional means.  Facing them in battle.  Eventually someone succeeds.  Usually with the backing of some major power.  Usually a god.  Which makes them rare.” - Excerpt from Sine Die 14.3</ref> This practice doesn't necessarily just involve killing dragons and can involve killing many things and collecting them as trophies, using these to gain ongoing benefits and powers from this trophy to gain power.<ref>Doesn't necessarily slay 'dragons', per se
Slaying big things (on a potentially divine scale) and taking trophies.

[several years later]You could give them a trophy from something strong that they killed in the past or an ongoing benefit from such. Or perhaps they had a trophy once and lost it or their family took it for other purposes, but they retain the know-how in how to get the most out of anything they take from a defeated Other (or practitioner, if you want to be grisly) - Wildbow on Discord</ref>

Presumably related to Trophy Hunter(s).

Hollow

Practices focused on modifying your self and person to achieve desired effects.

Mr. Lowett was practitioner who taught this field to students such as AJ Musser and the Crowe siblings.<ref>“No. Not at all. Mr. Lovett teaches Hollow studies. That includes heartless, hosting…”

“I know what Hollow practices are. I do suppose that rules out him being soft, doesn’t it? And allows for a certain leeway when a man is… odd.” - Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.z</ref>
