Title: The Iswazi
Post by: nicodante on September 02, 2017, 06:16:13 am
Does anyone understand how the Iswazi works compared to normal anagogic sorcery? I remember that it makes use of physical totems but that's about it... does each mbimayu only use one totem?

There are two articles in the Glossary about Iswazi ("Iswa" and "Iswazi"), and also some information in the article "Anagogis".

It's a variant of Anagogic Sorcery, focused on the relation between ideas and physical objects.  As such it needs concrete fetishes to enact its Cants (i.e. a physical dome to form a Ward shell) and it tends to be stronger than conventional Anagogic Sorcery but less flexible.  As Smiler Loki said, details can be found in the appendix.
