Formulaic Magic

Formulaic magic is based on spells that are learned or developed before the spell is cast. Such spells are called formulaic spells, as distinct from spontaneous spells.

Unless the restrictions are softened by Hermetic Virtues, Formulaic spells can only be cast in exactly one way every time. Formulaic magic allows for much higher Casting Totals than Spontaneous magic.
