Finder

Finder magic deals with things which have become utterly lost and untethered from the normal rules of reality. Practitioners who concentrate on this school are called variously a Finder or Chaos Mage.<ref name="Docs"/> They were once known as Dreamers, but that term is considered misleading and has fallen out of favour.

Methodology

These magi focus on interaction with the immaterial.<ref name="Docs">Interaction Schools [...] Immaterial: Finder/Chaos Mage
Finders work with lost and forgotten things, unpinned from the realms of the physical and even of the spirit. They tend to interact with the abyss in some form, but only in a tertiary sense - where the Abyss is where things settle when they fall through the cracks in the world, the Finder explores the spaces between realms, and the unformed void that lies beyond them. In practice, they stray from and explore places beyond the defined paths and spaces, and interact with desperate, nameless, and forgotten things. They mingle subtle transmutations, (especially of the abstract) with a collection of tricks and favors taken from nameless things that bear steep and unpredictable results.

History

It used to be believed that Finders dealt with dreams, perhaps the dreams of dead gods, hence the term Dreamers. However, it has become clear that the places they deal with are very real, and there has been a concerted effort to abandon the old term, lest it mislead people into believing that e.g. the Others they meet on the Paths cannot manifest in reality.
