SolVachel/ThaumaturgyTwo

Alchemy gets split into Alchemy and Herbalism. Alchemy contains the in-organic stuff Herbalism contains organic stuff. Alchemy is filed under Lore, Herbalism under Medicine. Occult still holds EnchantingSolVachel/Weatherworking. Each dot in a skill provides one Alchemical Formula, one Herblism Recipe, one Art, or one Ritual. Anyone who has Occult can preform Astrology, though it is terrbily inaccurate without access to Yu-Shan.

I just wanted to come in and say that I really like the idea of the split between Alchemy and Herbalism. I think that makes a lot of sense. I might even adopt it for my version of Exalted. -Heru

It's currently just a rough draft of what I've got going on. I just felt that medicine kind of got a shaft on the Thaumaturgy. :( ~ SolVachel
